Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Navy has sealed a tank farm in Calabar, Cross River State, suspected to be storing illegally-refined diesel.<\/p>\n

The Commander, Nigerian Navy Ship Victory, Commodore Rotimi Oderemi, disclosed this at a news conference on Tuesday in Calabar.<\/p>\n

He stated that the tank farm was identified following an intelligence report from the military\u2019s joint task force in the South-South codenamed \u201cOperation Delta Safe\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the report, the tank farm was sealed and samples of the suspected illegally-refined diesel were taken for laboratory analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigation is on-going. I advise business owners and tank farm operators to operate within the confines of the law by obtaining necessary approvals for their operations,\u2019\u2019 Oderemi said.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that on February 24, a joint operation by the Nigerian and Cameroonian navies led to the interception of a vessel laden with 30,000 litres of crude oil suspected to have been stolen from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He told newsmen that at the inspection of the vessel at Ibaka in Mbo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom, the vessel, MV Jasmine, was intercepted by a Nigerian Navy patrol boat, NNS Ekulu.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon noticing NNS Ekulu, the suspected vessel proceeded to the international waters between Nigeria and Cameroon, just as NNS Ekulu was in its hot pursuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cResulting from our collaboration and with the support of the Cameroonian Navy, the vessel was intercepted and brought to Ibaka with eight Nigerians on board,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
