Nigerian Air Force Destroys Illegal Refinery In Rivers State
An Illegal Crude Oil refining site has been located
and destroyed by the Nigerian Air Force in Rivers State Nigeria.
The operation
took place on Friday 21st July 2023 as part of the air component of the joint
security effort codenamed Operation Delta Safe. This operation was largely
intelligence driven.
The operation
was carried out after hours of careful surveillance by the air force. The
strike targeted Darima village which is around 20km from Abonnema in the
Akuku-Toru Local government area of Rivers State.
Spokesperson
of the Airforce Airman Commodore Edward Gabkwet confirmed the development to reporters.
“Yes, I can confirm to you that the NAF did carry
out a successful operation as part of Operation Delta Safe in the region, and
we have to do that to curb the activities of oil thieves and economic saboteurs
in that region,” he noted.
He, however, said, “This is a regular
occurrence in the area, and we will continue to safeguard the nation’s
interest”.
Barely a week ago, the Nigerian Navy also
located and dismantled an illegal crude oil refining site in the creeks of
Degema LGA of the state.
