The Nigerian Navy has announced the deactivation of 468 illegal refinery sites and the arrest of 215 suspected oil thieves, along with 26 vessels so far in 2024, under the ongoing Operation Delta Sanity.
The Chief of Policy and Plans, Rear Admiral Ibrahim Dewu, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja during a press briefing to mark the Nigerian Navy’s 69th Anniversary celebrations.
Dewu said the Navy also seized approximately 6.5 million litres of stolen crude oil and seven million litres of illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), all of which were appropriately handled by authorities.
