The NSCDC NHQs director of public relations, DCC Olusola Odumosu, who made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, said that the corps carried out the operation following a tip off on the activities of oil thieves in the area.
Odumosu also stated that two (2) suspects were arrested, adding that the illegal refineries belong to one unnamed woman and two men who are presently in the NSCDC custody.
According to the statement, the commander of the unit, DCC Brah Umoru Samson, said that the SAVMU will not give criminals any opportunity to sabotage the country’s economy.
