The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas has warned Officers of the Nigerian Navy of further involvement in illegal oil bunkering. He cautioned that any navy personnel guilty of aiding and abetting oil theft would be treated as an economic saboteur.
Ibas issued this warning while addressing officers and men of the NNS Pathfinder in Port Harcourt during his inaugural tour of formations in Rivers State on Saturday.

He said that the Nigerian Navy destroyed 78 illegal oil refineries across Rivers State in the security outfit’s latest fight against oil theft. He urged any of them involved in oil theft to desist from the act.
Speaking further, he said “If you have been party to illegal duties out there, my advice to you from this day is that as I finish addressing you, you should discountenance and dissociate yourselves from such. The Navy will not condone any illegal act out there. I am talking with a particular reference to you aiding and abating crude oil theft.
