The Forward Operating Base (FOB) Escravos of the Nigerian Navy has dismantled 10 illegal refining sites at Obodo Omadino Community in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, following a series of coordinated operations guided by credible information.


The Commanding Officer of the Base, Navy Captain Ikenna Okoloagu, confirmed that the naval personnel seized approximately 20,950 litres of stolen crude oil and 6,395 litres of illegally refined Automotive Gasoline Oil (AGO), which were discovered in two locally fabricated ovens, 92 dugout pits, and 60 polythene sacks.


Okoloagu reiterated the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to dismantling illegal refining infrastructure and safeguarding the nation's oil and gas assets, warning perpetrators to either desist from the illicit acts or prepare to face the full wrath of the law.
