Oil theft: NSCDC seizes seven trucks, parades 28 suspects in Rivers


The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested 28 suspects allegedly involved in illegal oil bunkering and other crimes in Port Harcourt and other parts of Rivers State.

Also, the NSCDC said its operatives seized seven trucks used in conveying stolen adulterated petroleum products and oil pipes.

The Commandant, NSCDC, Rivers State Command, Muktar Lawal, disclosed this while parading the suspects and the confiscated items before newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday.

Muktar said on 24 December 2020, suspected vandalized ‘rail track slippers’ were recovered along the Kok-Kom rail line in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state.

Among other seized items were a Mack truck containing an unspecified quantity of illegal crude oil and two others containing Automated Gas Oil (AGO), otherwise known as diesel.

He stated further, “As a result of the strong synergy between the Nigerian Army and the NSCDC, on January 25, 2021, a suspect alleged to be involved in oil wellhead theft belonging to the Nigeria Agip Oil Company pipeline was arrested at Chokocho community, Ikwerre LGA and handed over to the command for possible prosecution.

“Also, on 30th January 2021, two suspects were arrested and handed over to the command by the Nigerian Army for further investigation and prosecution. The suspects were arrested in connection with dealings in petroleum products in Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA of Rivers State.

“Items recovered from the suspects include, two saw blades, one measuring tape, and a cylinder fame touch,” he said, adding that the suspects have been charged to Court.

“On 6th February 2021 at about 1330hrs, the command’s anti-vandal team arrested one suspect for willfully tampering and removing metals used in the construction of bridges at Ogba/Egbema/Ndono LGA of Rivers State.

“Recovered from the suspects is a long lorry truck with registration number NSR 462 ZB, used for conveying the exhibits. On 18th February 2021 at about 840hrs, the command arrested four suspects for illegal dealings in petroleum products (AGO) at Rumuokoro axis of Obio/Akpor lga of the state.

‌“The products were contained in a DAF Truck with registration number KMC 165 VT. On 23rd February 2021, at about 0044hrs, the anti-vandal patrol team of the command arrested a Truck with registration number NCA 927 XA, loaded with unspecified litres of suspected stolen crude oil along Ebocha Road in ONELGA, Rivers State.

“On 25th February 2021 at about 0245hrs, 10 suspected oil thieves were also arrested with suspected adulterated AGO loaded in a truck with registration number LND 504 XT at Ozuboko in Port Harcourt city LGA,” the state NSCDC Commandant said.

Lawal further disclosed that on February 25, 2021, its anti-vandal team nabbed six more suspected oil thieves and a truck with registration number SML 516 XA filled with suspected adulterated AGO in Choba, Obio/Akpor lga.

Similarly, he said, “Following a credible intelligence, on 25th, 2021 at about 1014hrs, four suspects and two Trucks with registration ABU 10 XA and KJU 39 XB were arrested conveying 20 suspected stolen petroleum pipes (each conveyed 10 pipes) at Ahoada East lga. The arrested suspects are currently undergoing investigation and would be charged to Court for possible prosecution.”

He expressed sadness that despite the efforts of the federal government to put the rail system in place for economic growth, some miscreants and undesirable individuals chose to make themselves stumbling blocks by vandalizing critical national assets and infrastructure.

Marcus Rashford has said that he has "felt no prouder moment" representing England at Euro 2020 and that he "will never apologise for who I am and where I came from" after he was subjected to racist abuse following the Three Lions' defeat to Italy. Gareth Southgate's side were beaten 3-2 on spot kicks in the Euro 2020 final, with Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka the three players to see their efforts fall short, leading to the trio receiving abhorrent racist messages online. Reflecting on his miss in the shootout, Manchester United forward Rashford admits that "something didn't feel quite right" before he stepped up to take the penalty, while he has vowed the Three Lions will "be back stronger" "I don't even know where to start and I don't even know how to put into words how I'm feeling at this exact time," Rashford wrote in a statement published on his social media accounts. "I've had ...

Meet The Designer Behind Cartier’s Most Iconic Watches Adored By Bella, Dua, & More

A surprising fact about Marie-Laure Cérède, Cartier's  creative director of watchmaking, is that she never wears her wristwatch  set to the right time. “It’s a creative statement,” she tells  Vogue . “I don’t want my Cartier  watch to tell me the time. My time is busy, and this is an object of grace and beauty.” Her words echo that of artist Andy Warhol, who was rarely seen without his Cartier Tank, of which he once said:   “I don’t wear a Tank watch to tell the time. Actually, I never even wind it. I wear a Tank because it is the watch to wear.”  Watches created by the 174-year-old maison, which first began as a jeweller, have long adorned the wrists of the stylish and influential, from Princess Diana (Tank Solo) and Michelle Obama ( Tank Francaise)  to Dua Lipa and Bella Hadid (both Panthère de Cartier fans). And Cérède is charged with building on that legacy, which can be traced back to 1904 – when Louis Cartier first cre...
