Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, the Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, says those who fund oil theft in the Niger Delta are not from the zone.<\/p>\n

Dokubo-Asari also disclosed that the people from the region who are complicit in the act are being funded, in most cases, by outsiders, adding that they are not up to one per cent of the population.<\/p>\n

He made the revelation on Friday morning while fielding questions on the Channels TV Sunrise Daily programme.<\/p>\n

He also said that most of the stolen oil goes to Togo and Ghana and that the government was aware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who bring these tankers are not Niger Deltans. If they are Niger Deltans, they would be so few, maybe those who have access to government and government money.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause to get a tanker from here to Togo and Ghana or Cot D\u2019Ivoire (these are where most of the stolen oil is sold), the government knows about these things; you need close to one to two million us dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a mother vessel, and the mother vessel anchors outside Nigerian territorial waters. Then there is a feeder\u2019s vessel, which comes in 2000 tonnes, 3000 tonnes, flat bottom and so on, so as to go into the creeks to steal it, and they bring it in a shuttle to fill most of these tanks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes up to one month. They are loaded in 2000 tonnes, the highest that can go into the creek-the flat bottom is 3000 tonnes. Three thousand tonnes is bigger than your Channels TV house; this is where the money is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
