The Nigerian Navy has impounded three barges laden with suspected stolen crude oil at Tunu Community Creek, Ekeremor local government area of Bayelsa State.
The Commander of Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) SOROH, Commodore Nanmar Lakan, told journalists on Saturday that his command received an intelligence report on the illegal activities in the area and swung into action.
He said seven suspects found on board the barges have been kept in custody pending the conclusion of an investigation into the matter.
