Troops of the Nigerian Army have broken up a suspected large-scale oil bunkering syndicate operating along the Lekki-Ibeju coastal axis of Lagos State, arresting 15 suspects and seizing trucks, marine equipment, and pumping devices used in illegal petroleum siphoning.
The operation was carried out in the early hours of Thursday by troops of 65 Battalion under the 81 Division, acting on sustained human intelligence and surveillance of crude oil and refined product theft activities in the area — in close proximity to the Dangote Refinery corridor.
