Following rising cases of oil theft in the Niger Delta region, the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, has warned oil thieves to desist from the act or be ready to face deadly gun battle.

Badeh gave the warning on Friday while inaugurating the permanent complex of the Joint Task Military Force’s Operation Pulo Shield headquarters in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

Badeh lamented that oil theft, kidnapping and other criminal activities were still on the increase in the region despite the previous agreement reached with former militants to down tools.

He said, “Criminalities in the Niger Delta, we thought, have stopped but now they are on the rise again. But I know that our gallant men and women are equal to the task.

“We are after the bad men; we are good men and darkness can never overtake light. No nation can develop in the presence of so much criminality.

“Now we are hearing that people are taking up arms here and there; kidnapping is on the rise, oil theft is on the rise, going by the last seizure of a ship loaded with 15,000 metric tons of illegal properties.

“The military was here before and we reached a simple agreement to down tools to work together for the benefit of our nation. We want to tell the criminals that they should not allow us to turn our guns back to the Niger Delta. Please, do not let the Armed Force turn its arsenal on the Niger Delta.”

Badeh said the military had received major arms for the Navy, stressing that naval operatives were stationed in the blue waters.

The CDS, who appealed to youths in the region to operate within the ambits of the law, said the JTF had received added capabilities to combat all manner of criminalities in the region.

In his remarks, the JTF Commander, Maj.-Gen. Emmanuel Atewe, stated that the JTF was a product of the defunct Operation Restore Hope, which was earlier established to check criminal activities in the region with headquarters in Warri, Delta State.

He said since his assumption as Commander of the Operation Pulo Shield some months ago, the JTF had recorded a lot of achievements in the fight against oil theft.

Atewe highlighted the destruction of over 1,000 illegal oil refineries, arrest and trial of several suspects, destruction of over 400 smuggling boats, and 20 trucks containing illegally refined products, among others.

He said, “The idea to build a permanent complex was informed by the huge amount of money expended on rent by the Command over the years.

“May I thank the Chief of Defence Staff for donating 30 gun boats to the JTF and the Bayelsa State government for its cooperation with the JTF.

“The new JTF Complex occupies over 8 acres of land comprising of officers’ accommodation, residential apartments for officers and men, sports and fitness centre, medical facilities and officers mess.”

Ok

.

Buhari shld stay away from niger delta He shld focus on boko haram D guy is as dull as a dullard

The drama in Nigeria alone can make season film

Actually the warning is meant for oil thieves(which includes military men from every tribe in Nigeria, Oil company workers from every tribe in Nigeria, Politicians, criminal businessmen etc)

It has nothing to do with genuine ND agitators

The problem with profitable resources as usual is the same - struggle for control
Sometime I wonder how the UAE got it right and we are still lagging behind. Politicizing everything is the root cause of our under achievement.

PMB should be ready to carry out his plans with revenues from groundnut

We want war says oil thieves

Way to go. This is what you get when there is purposeful leadership.

Make sense

Kill all the termites!

Exterminate them once and for all.

Your clarification would fall on deaf ears, blind eyes, and acutely bigoted minds.

Watch people arrive on this thread to shout- "they have declared war on Niger Delta youths" as though all youths from that part of the country are criminals.

Imagine someone on the other thread saying Buhari should focus on Boko Haram, that the militants are "criminals and not terrorists".
Then one wonders what exactly is the organic composition of the brains of some of the people we interact with around here.

These forces should not reopen old wounds o!

These weaklings called the "Nigerian military" can be funny

In the face of Boko Haram aggressors that have humiliated you over the years, you want to pick on a soft target to revalidate your broken ego at home

Real shame

my bro, if you noticed, i just came back after some break from the insanity here and i'll not bother myself anymore with some threads and some posters. it's obvious we reside on different planets from them so we won't understand each other's language.

i read the earlier reports that indicate women going about their business were robbed and raped. people were abducted and killed routinely yet some think it sensible to come here and cast aspersions on the actions to stop these criminal element from proliferating?!! I mean these criminals prey on their own people!!! How does a sane person defend these guys? how does one reason with such thinking?

2 of my colleagues who are Niger Deltans from host communities were killed in the last 2 weeks by these same guys. One was killed during an attempt to kidnap him and the other was killed 2 days after ransom was paid to free him from the kidnappers. we all suspect it's because they believe he knows them and might squeal on them.

Then some youths believe they should defend them just so they can have a reason to denigrate PMB. I even saw a thread where another said over 350 people were killed in the raids and some believed that too??

My bro, na their cup of garri

This is the beginning of the end.

If Buhari thinks priotizing a war for resources is ahead of checking the jihadist lunatics in the north and his Fulani genocidal militias in the middle belt then he doesn't know he is playing into the script of the US who want to break this country up.

In 5 yrs from today as I make this post, the US will have an AFRICAN base up and running in the independent state of Niger Delta and Biafra. The north will be overrun by ISIS who will be heading to the SW and the Nigerian central govt will be weak to do jacksh1t. What is happening in Syria and Iraq will be child's play when compared to the middle belt and sw.


Mark my words. There is a reason they chose the fanatic bigot to occupy Aso Rock.

Before the year ends this Govt will collapse.

If you are in the north, middle belt and SW and you are not from there them move out.
NOW!

Its important we clear the delta of illegality all operations are aimed at securing Nigeria's Territorial sovereignty and bringing law and order

I wonder d reason anyone wld fault d government on dz. Nigeria loses 400 barrels of crude oil everyday as a result of oil theft. D economic consequence of blockn dz leakage cant be over-emphasised.

oh oh oh oh......they have come again

As you're typing this, An Alhaji Sule, Alhaji Isiaka or Mr Demola is negotiating with a Tekena or Chikodi to buy their stolen oil cargo which will be given protection by a company of soldiers led by a capt Musa and police led by ASP Oghenetega.

Every corrupt practice in this country is made successful by crooks from every nook and cranny of this big country.

Let whatever wants to happen because the military moved against oil thieves happen, the world won't end and we might be the better for it. I guess some destruction and disasters are inevitable after all.

Let's end it all and start afresh

You can see now!
A leader is everything !

Were these not the same set of people that were ball less I'm the last administration?

This Govt will collapse on its knees before the end of this year.

The US will take Buhari out and we will see on full display how the north will reject Osinbajo. There will be a coup followed by a counter coup and in the midst of all this confusion Boko Haram will expand their territory in the north, Arab ISIS fighters will join them and images of northerners linning the streets of Kano giving Boko Haram and ISIS fighters a hero's welcome will confirm that Boko Haram has always been a northern backed group. The killings, public beheadings, public auction of non moslem women and children will commence.

Northern Military officers will defect to join ISIS while America will deny the central govt weapons and Intel citing the illegality of the regime and for the reinstatement of Osinbanjo as President. The likes of Wole Soyinka and Falana will start another NADECO clamouring for Osinbajo's mandate and release of Tinubu.

It is in the midst of this confusion we will declare our sovereignty.

No problems....as long as the Defense forces face the Oil thieves.

It's even more gratifying to note that it's the army leaders appointed by GEJ that are caryying out these actions.

Wonder what happened to them

So for the interest of us the innocent and hardworking Niger Deltans let peace reign. As for those clamoring for war(mostly Igbos) let it be restricted to your village.

Leave them. They reason from their azzes as if Nigeria's unity is sacrosanct.

They shout one Nigeria as if Nigeria was created on the 6th day along Adam by God Himself.

If the mighty ideologically and militarily more superior Soviet Union collapse what is this slave plantation?


They in the SW know why they scream one Nigeria and it is primarily not because of oil even though their existence depends on it but rather it is because of a more pressing fear of them remaining alone in their one Nijeriya with their Arab masters.

They know that the SS and SE can never enter into any alliance with them and for this reason they actually scream one nigeria for they know our presence keeps foolanis in check. Without us the interrupted Jihad by Uthman Dan Fodio by the timely arrival of the British will recommence fully!

The Yoruba is afraid of the future without Niger Deltans and Igbos to protect them.


Cowards

What is the regret my dear? That the oil will stop flowing? That the country will break? That the economy will collapse?

"If the heavens will fall, it won't be the problem of one man"

My friend, let them keep dealing with the oil thieves...if it leads to these 'calamities' you're so scared of, let them come.
