The Nigerian Armed Forces have thwarted a significant oil theft operation in the South-South region, preventing the illegal diversion of crude oil valued at over N1.3 billion.

Similarly, the operatives of the IGP Special Task Force on Petroleum and Illegal Bunkering (IGP-STFPIB) have denied oil thieves of a whopping 400,000 litres of illegally refined products.

This came as Nigerian troops from the Joint Task Force Northwest Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) successfully eliminated a notorious bandit commander, ‘Kachallah Buzu’, and several of his fighters in Zamfara State.
