Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have arrested two teenagers for suspected oil theft and destroyed several illegal refineries in Ukwa West Local Government Area, Abia State. The operation was part of the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad’s ongoing efforts to tackle oil theft and economic sabotage.
According to NSCDC’s Public Relations Officer, Babawale Afolabi, the squad raided a swampy forest in the Umuorie/Umukala community, uncovering illegal refineries with over 20 local drum ovens. The squad’s commander, DC Apollos Dandaura, confirmed the arrests and reaffirmed the NSCDC’s commitment to eradicating illegal oil activities.
Two suspects, 16-year-old Endurance David and 13-year-old Abadiedot Anieke, were apprehended, while others fled. Several items, including pipes and reservoirs used to siphon crude oil, were recovered. Investigations are ongoing, and the suspects will be prosecuted once inquiries are complete.
