The Nigerian Navy has uncovered approximately 85,000 litres of a substance suspected to be stolen crude oil during a follow-up operation at the Allison area of Rivers State. According to an operational report by the Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, the operation was conducted by Forward Operating Base BONNY on Tuesday following actionable information on the establishment of a new illegal bunkering site. Troops uncovered 16 concealed dugout pits, including four containing approximately 40,000 litres of suspected stolen crude oil, and another three containing approximately 45,000 litres suspected to be awaiting processing, along with hoses used to move crude oil. The operation was conducted to further disrupt attempts to re-establish illegal oil bunkering activities following an earlier intervention in the area.
