Disckson clarified that his previous statement did not accuse individuals from the Southwest as a whole, but referred to influential figures in major Nigerian cities, particularly Lagos and Abuja.
He remarked, “What I said in context is not that people from the southwestern parts in Lagos and Abuja are doing it. That’s not what I said. I didn’t say southwest. I said big players in the big cities of Nigeria, specifically Lagos and Abuja, because you must be big, you must be well entrenched, you must be part of the various systems, the security systems, the oil system and the topmost governmental systems to be able to carry out illegal bunkering.
