OIL BUNKERING RACKET BUSTED IN DELTA STATE, SECURITY AGENCIES CLAMP DOWN ON ILLEGAL OPERATIONS

A major oil bunkering syndicate operating in the Niger Delta has been dismantled following a joint operation by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Nigerian Navy. Authorities intercepted several tankers filled with stolen crude oil near Warri, leading to multiple arrests.

.

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has commended security forces for their swift action and vowed to intensify efforts against illegal refining activities. However, local activists argue that the government should also focus on providing alternative livelihoods for youths involved in bunkering due to economic hardship.

.

Many residents believe that corruption within the oil sector enables such crimes to persist, calling for stricter penalties for both offenders and their collaborators.
