Addressing journalists on the crack-down against oil bunkerers, Flag Officer Commanding, FOC, Central Naval Command, Rear Admiral Sidi Usman, stated that its men and officers were determined to stamp out all forms of illegalities being perpetrated in the creeks and waterways.
Admiral Sidi, who was in company of the Commanding Officer, NNS Delta, Commodore Mohammed Garba and other Officers of the Base, the navy would spare no effort in dealing with bunkerers.
“We will continue to raid areas where illegalities are being practised. The evil doers are no friends of the country as their nefarious activities are aimed at destroying the nation’s economy”, he said.
Usman expressed satisfaction with the mass destruction of large quantities of fuel dumps at Opumani and the arrest of a suspect, whose name was given as Samson Oghenero.
