He recalled that he had earlier warned oil thieves in the area to desist from the illegal business or relocate to another area. “We traversed from Ahoada West LGA of Rivers State to reach this point.

“From a large dug-out open pit that can accommodate more than 10 trucks of AGO, they are holding crude oil from where they distribute to their cooking sites.”The OPDS commander called on the public-spirited individuals to continue to volunteer useful information to help the troops apprehend the suspected criminals, saying the troops alone could not do it.
The JTF Commander said his message to those involved in illegality had remained that sooner or later they would catch up with them and deal decisively with them. “When you allow such activities to be perpetrated continuously, the legitimate people that engage in crude business will not be able to sell their products because these criminals will be selling at far lower prices.
