‘Military officers sabotaging fight against oil theft’ – Rivers governor tells Army Chief

Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has alleged that some army officers were sabotaging the fight against oil bunkering in the state.

Rivers governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has alleged that some army officers were sabotaging efforts towards tackling the menace of illegal oil bunkering in the state.

According to Fubara, the suspected officers were attached to a particular company in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Council of the state. “One special problem that we have here is the issue of bunkering. In some parts of the state, in Ahoada East and Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni, most of the bunkering activities there, we believe, are subsisting because there is this cooperation between the Army and top oil companies,” Fubara said.

Fubara explained how he had tried to resolve the problem without success because of the “vested interest” of the officers, urging the Chief of Army Staff to call them to order.
