Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Navy has arrested three people in connection with the alleged falsification of its approval for the shipment of 150,000 gallons of suspected contaminated diesel.<\/p>\n

Commodore Desmond Igbo, Commander, Nigeria Navy Ship (NNS) Pathfinder, announced this on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during the suspects\u2019 surrender to the Nigeria Police Force.<\/p>\n

He stated that the three suspects provided a forged naval oil approval to a vessel, the MV Mother Gabrini, with one of the suspects posing as a navy officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Nov. 8, troops attached to Forward Operating Base (FOB) Bonny arrested MV Mother Gabrini for suspected illegal bunkering activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring preliminary investigation, the crew presented a fake NNS Pathfinder oil approval, which necessitated the base to spring into action to apprehend the persons involved in the forging of our approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree suspects (who forged the oil approval) were trailed and arrested at different locations after a one-week sustained intelligence-led operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Igbo, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Adm. Emmanuel Ogalla, has urged troops to put an end to all sorts of illegal activity in the nation\u2019s marine environment.<\/p>\n

He said findings indicated that the thieves were increasingly using forged approvals to carry petroleum products unnoticed on the waterways.<\/p>\n

According to the naval commander, troops discovered two camouflages and other military uniforms, as well as incriminating items, in Nweale\u2019s flat.<\/p>\n

He added that the navy had begun taking action to apprehend all oil thieves and illegal bunkerers within the state, urging them to stop their illicit actions.<\/p>\n
