THE Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Central Naval Command of the Nigerian Navy, Rear Admiral Saidu Garba, has given three reasons there’s decrease in oil theft and illegal oil refinery in the Niger Delta. The naval chief itemised the reasons in Warri during his familiarisation tour of the bases under his command. Giving reasons why the incidence of oil theft and illegal oil refining had reduced in the Central Naval Command’s area of responsibility, Garba said three major security strategies had been useful in containing the area. “The second one is the Swamp bogey operation, whereby we go around demolishing all illegal infrastructure that have been put in place for illegal oil production. “We’ve been able to sustain these three and with them, we have been able to curtail the flow of illicit oil activities in our area of responsibility,” he revealed.
