Troops nab 19 oil thieves, dismantle 22 illegal bunkering sites in Rivers, Bayelsa

A similar operation was conducted at Orashi Forest in Abua/Odual LGA, where troops traced a long hose which spanned over 9 kilometres, leading to four illegal refining sites, comprising four large ovens with a capacity of 30,000 litres each, receivers and dugout pits stocked with over 7,000 litres of crude oil. In addition, a pumping machine with five large reservoirs were destroyed.
