Following the receipt of credible intelligence, a Private Security Contractor engaged by NNPC Ltd., Messrs. Tantita Security Services, intercepted a suspicious Vessel with a Cargo of Crude oil on board on July 7, 2023.

The Vessel, MT TURA II (IMO number: 6620462), owned by a Nigerian Registered Company, HOLAB MARITIME SERVICES LIMITED with Registration Number RC813311, was heading to Cameroun with the Cargo on board when it was apprehended at an offshore location (Latitude: 5.8197194477543235°, Longitude: 4.789002723991871°), with the Captain and Crew members on board.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the crude oil cargo onboard was illegally sourced from a well jacket offshore Ondo State, Nigeria. There was no valid documentation for the Vessel or the Crude Oil Cargo onboard at the time of the arrest.

Further investigation into the activities of the vessel at the NNPC Ltd. Command and Control Centre also revealed that the Vessel has been operating in stealth mode for the last twelve (12) years. The last reported location of the Vessel was Tin Can Port in July 2011.

Details of this arrest and the outcomes of the investigations were escalated to the appropriate Government authorities, upon which it was concluded to destroy the Vessel to serve as a strong warning and deterrent to all those participating in such illegal activities to cease and desist.

Destroying vessels involved in transporting stolen crude oil is of paramount importance as a strong deterrent. The illegal trade of stolen crude oil not only inflicts significant economic losses on Nigeria and legitimate stakeholders in the oil industry, but also perpetuates a cycle of corruption, environmental devastation, and social instability.

NNPC Ltd. assures Nigerians that we will sustain the momentum in the war against crude oil theft until it is brought to a halt.

I am not impressed. What about exposing the culprits? What about prosecuting the economic saboteurs? What about making them a deterrent? Why was the vessel destroyed?


I don't think we are really serious as a nation in fighting criminality.

Oboy e

foolishness .
always good in spoiling things...

Ok you dey destroy wetin u for resell and use generate income is the Stolen Fuel drugs or you people head no wan coret.....

Scammers, dem no wan dey investigation to go more far daz why...9ja!

Why do you destroy the vessel with The crude? What kind of country is this abeg!!!

And what became of all the stolen crude pls

Cheap Propaganda!
If you know you know.

So it's only one vessel that Tantita security services have destroyed since all these days?

How many vessels load stolen crude oil per day, not to talk of a week, month or year.

They should retrieve the crude first and then shell the vessel to ruins.. Our enemies won't have peace.

Ok...hope they removed its content first

Looks like someone is not getting his cut

The stolen oil vessel will favour me and my family

All for the gram do you know what it means to load just 1000 mt of crude oil in Nigeria ? These people know Nigerians love entertainment so they've decided to entertain una imagine actual suits on ground forming busy

Eye service.

Trust Nigerian investigative journalists to unravel who owns it.
I said it already, it is owned by Henry Coker and family.... sabotaging the government. Why can't they arrest him, prosecute him, evacuate the crude oil and then set it ablaze if they believe he is powerful and will continue his bunkering again. Something is not adding up. Why did the mods removed his name from the write-up......
This is the full notification including his name from another source.
Something is not adding up with the quick way they did that. Hope he is not a cover for big dons and they want the evidence destroyed.
I can also see a private security for waterways employed by nnpc were the the one involved in action. Someone trying to keep his job and contracts. Eye service 😆

UPSIDE-DOWN NATION AND PEOPLE…

Why brag about destroying a vessel loaded with crude (with attendant pollution)?
Why not evacuate the crude, preserve the vessel as evidence, and prosecute the perpetrators?!

Unless of course someone is blowing smoke up our collective arses!
