The Nigerian Army’s 6 Division has destroyed 115 illegal refining sites and arrested 22 suspects in Rivers and Bayelsa states, in a bid to curb illegal artisanal refinery activities and associated crimes in the Niger Delta Region.

The operation, conducted in conjunction with other security agencies, resulted in the recovery of 27 stolen pipes, four pumping machines, and over 170,000 stolen products. “This is a significant blow to the criminal elements and economic saboteurs who have been perpetuating these illegal activities,” said Lt. Col. Jonah Danjuma, the army’s Acting Deputy Director.
