#OilThieves are angry because the Joint Task Force Operation DELTA SAFE as well as other operations in the South-South zone of the country have sustained efforts to deny oil thieves avenues to sabotage the Nigerian economy. " ~ Nigerian Navy’s spokesperson

“If Asari Dokubo is seeking some form of relevance and he alleges that there are cabals of military personnel who are involved in crude oil theft, let him bring the names. Nobody is afraid of getting the names of those involved in crude oil theft."
"You can not make such serious allegations and think that we just sweep it down the carpet, there will be an official response from Defence Headquarters on this matter. The CDS does not condone that, nor does the Chief of Naval Staff under whom I serve." #NigerianNavy

Watch the moments when the Nigerian Navy captured the Oil Theft ship, Heroic Idun (3 times the size of a football field) from Equitorial Guinea. The crew will be paraded tomorrow. Ovieteme George did a solid cinematic job reporting this.

I hope they don't plan to burn down the ship, destroy all evidences, set them free & close the case.

Special thanks to the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi for shining the spotlight on this scourge when others kept mute.

In this thread I posted yesterday, you'd see the Captain and Crew of Heroic Idun, begging the Indian government to come to their rescue. This is really a high level criminal enterprise, involving big men. Would there be justice, would names be named? Will the case be bungled?

Remember that oil tanker, MV Heroic Idun, allegedly laden with 3 million barrels of crude that escaped from Nigerian Navy to Equitorial Guinea in Aug '22? Arise TV reports the ship/crew have been caught & would be paraded on Monday.
VIDEO: Capt begs 4 help
Out of the 26 member crew, 16 are Indian sailors. Equatorial Guinea had caught & detained them, but would hand them over to the Nig Navy. Some say that they have a higher chance of being released in Nig than in EG. The oil tanker is now reportedly empty.

Nigeria loses between 400,000 - 700,000 barrels of crude per day to Oil Theft. This singular high-level criminal sabotage has contributed significantly to the country's economic woes.

Nigeria currently has no functional refinery. #oiltheft
