This illicit operation boasted over two hundred local cooking ovens used for refining crude oil.
Acting on intelligence reports, the CG SIS launched a coordinated raid, dismantling the illegal refinery setup and apprehending the suspects involved in this extensive criminal enterprise.
The bust highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat illegal oil activities and protect the nation’s resources.
Further investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of the operation and bring all perpetrators to justice.
This raid marks a significant step in curbing illegal oil refining in the region and safeguarding Nigeria’s oil infrastructure.
