A private security contractor affiliated with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Tanita Security Services Nigeria Limited, has reportedly intercepted a vessel weighing 3,000 tons loaded with approximately 119 barrels of suspected stolen crude oil in Bayelsa State. The operation was carried out on the Ekeni Sea, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of state in the Niger Delta region of the country.
Despite efforts to annihilate illegal bunkering, it continues to rear its ugly head as illegal refining camps were also destroyed last week in Ughelli South area of the state.
