The Nigerian Navy (NN) in Lagos has said that it arrested five sus­pected oil thieves and recovered a locally made boat loaded with petroleum products on Lagos waters.
The outgoing Flag Officer (FOC), Western Naval Com­mand, Rear Admiral Ilesanmi Alade, made the statement while addressing officers and ratings of the Command at the NNS BEECROFT parade ground.
Alade also said that the sus­pects were being interrogated and would be handed over to the appropriate prosecuting agency if found culpable.
The FOC said that the out­come of the interrogation would reveal where and how the products were stolen.
He said that the Federal Gov­ernment had approved the es­tablishment of a Forward Op­eration Base (FOB) at Majidun in Ikorodu, Lagos.
Alade said that the aim of the FOB in Ikorodu is to reduce the activities of pipeline vandals in the area.
``You are all aware that we recently raided Majidun area of Ikorodu, where vandals have practically converted into a safe haven for their criminal activi­ties.
``Over 300,000 jerry cans fully loaded with fuel were recovered, all the jerry cans were buried in the murky waters
waters of Majidun River,’’ he added
