Navy Seizes Stolen Crude, Shuts Down Illegal Refineries in Delta

The Nigerian Navy has cracked down on illegal refining activities in Delta State, discovering and deactivating three illegal sites in Oteghele, Warri South-West LGA.

The operation, carried out on March 24 by the Forward Operating Base Escravos, led to the seizure of 2,700 litres of stolen crude oil and 2,200 litres of illegally refined AGO.

This is part of ongoing efforts to combat oil theft and boost Nigeria’s crude oil production.
