Operation Delta Sanity: Navy Arrests 6 Vessels – Chief

The Chief of Policy and Plans, Nigerian Navy, Rear Adm. Joseph Akpan, says the Navy has attained the highest state of operational readiness in the discharge of its constitutional roles.

Akpan said this while briefing newsmen on the forthcoming 68th Anniversary Celebrations 2024 of the Nigeria Navy (NN) tagged, ‘Navy Week’ on Monday in Abuja.

He said the Navy under the current Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Adm. Emmanuel Ogalla, had achieved huge success in the fight against Crude Oil Theft through Operation Delta Sanity.

According to him, nine months after re-launching the operation, it has led to the arrest of various suspects and vessels involved in crude oil theft.

“Some of these vessels include MT Kali, MT Sweet Harbour Spirit, MT Saisnil, MV Tokito, MT Vinillaris and MT Sweet Miri, among others.

“This has impacted positively on Nigeria’s crude oil production.

“For instance, OPEC’s Records for April stated that Nigeria’s crude oil exports rose to 1.28 million bpd from 1.23 million bpd in March.

“This is in line with the president’s directive to eradicate crude oil theft in order to ramp up Nigeria’s oil production and exports,” he said.

Akpan said the Navy had in line with its Total Spectrum Maritime Strategy, continued to support land operations in all the geo-political zones of the country.

He added that NN had also provided all year-round situation awareness of Nigeria’s maritime domain, extending to the limits of the Exclusive Economic Zone.

This, he said, was through its Maritime Domain Awareness Facilities, which enabled early detection and swift response to incidences within the maritime environment.

According to him, this has ensured that Nigeria maintains its zero piracy status in the International Maritime Bureau piracy rating.

In terms of fleet renewal, Akpan said the NN had taken delivery of various platforms such as offshore survey vessel, two 32m FPBs, and two Helicopters, adding that two 76m OPVs were expected from Turkey later in the year.

He highlighted the activities lined up for the event to include the flag-off of the Regional Maritime (REMEX) and International Maritime Conference to be graced by President Bola Tinubu.

According to him, the REMEX, which is scheduled to hold from May 30 to June 1, is an international maritime sea exercise involving navies from Africa, Europe, Asia, North and South America.

“The NN will contribute 18 platforms comprising capital ships, boats and helicopters.

“Some of the foreign naval ships participating include,  Brazilian Navy Ship APA, Cameroonian Navy Ship Dipikar, Peoples Liberation Army Navy Ship XU Chang, French Navy Ship OSV Commandant Birot, Ghana Navy Ship Chemle, United States Ship Hershel Woody Williams.

“The conference is aimed at catalysing effective cooperation on maritime security across Africa as a key driver for unlocking the continent’s immense Blue Economy potential in line with the vision of the 2050 African Integrated Maritime Strategy (AIMS).

It has as its theme: “Promoting the Blue Economy in Africa through International Cooperation on Maritime Security” and delegations from about 21 African countries, 17 non-African countries and 13 International/regional organisations.

“The series of activities marking the Navy Week Celebration will be rounded off on June 1, with the inauguration of the International Maritime Institute of Nigeria (IMION).

Also there will be Ceremonial Sunset/Reunion Dinner at NNS Quorra Apapa and Naval Dockyard Limited Victoria Island respectively,” he added.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
