The National Coordinator of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Musa Saidu, has alleged that illegal oil bunkering is thriving in the Niger Delta region because security agencies are involved.
He said this on Wednesday during an interview on Arise TV, monitored by PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr Saidu said that although the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has adopted measures to stop oil theft, its efforts are being jeopardised by the activities of the security agencies, which release vessels arrested.
