Powerful Nigerians Behind Oil Theft in Niger Delta - Seriake Dickson
SHARE

Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson has fingered powerful Nigerians for being responsible behind oil theft in the Niger Delta

Dickson particularly pointed top Nigerians from Abuja and Lagos as masterminds of oil theft and illegal bunkering activities in the region.

The lawmaker representing Bayelsa West in the National Assembly said this during an appearance on Channels Television’s “Inside Sources” with Laolu Akande over the weekend.

Dickson also accused the Federal Government of being aware of the root causes of the menace but playing a blind eye because it benefits the official system as well.

Dickson said, “Why should a country like Nigeria that has been producing oil, exporting oil for the past 70 years not have a scientific way of metering, recording what leaves, what is pumped, what is sold and what is not sold? And it’s deliberate.

“It’s not a Niger Delta thing; it’s just happening there and it is unfortunate that it has destroyed communities because there is too much illegal money, illegal arms, illicit drugs and it has fueled cultism because people want to get the loyalties of young people to be able to hold territories where oil facilities are.

“They need weapons and young men that are always high on drugs. You think a man who slaughters and cuts off a man’s head and dismember him is normal? So, those are people who are actively on drugs.

“People from Abuja and Lagos are the masterminds and the official system is not ignorant and not innocent. The official security system, the official oil system, the official federal system, all of it in its entirety. It’s a criminal, powerful system.”

He stated that, just as the world came together to condemn stolen blood diamonds, a worldwide consensus should emerge to force the international community to reject stolen crude oil from Nigeria.

Dickson, therefore, urged authorities at all levels to have great political resolve in order to put an end to the dangerous trend of oil theft.
