The Defence Headquarters says troops of “Operation Delta Safe’’ have deactivated several illegal refining sites, and disconnected illegal pipelines in Niger Delta.

It said the troops also intercepted and confiscated contraband vessels in the region in the last two weeks.

The Acting Director, Defence Media Operation, Brig.-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja, while briefing newsmen on the military operations across the country from June 3 to June 16.
