The Nigerian Navy has dealt a “technological death blow” to oil syndicate operations in Rivers State, discovering and destroying a massive clandestine storage site in the Bonny general area. The secret facility was found “pregnant” with over 17,500 litres of stolen crude oil hidden in deep dugout pits. The Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, confirmed the successful operation on Friday, making it clear that the era of hiding under the cover of thick forest is officially over. In what looks like a scene from a movie, the “bad boys” of the creeks thought they had the perfect camouflage. They dug four massive pits in the Opotumbi area and covered them with thick, natural vegetation to avoid being seen by passing boats. However, they didn’t account for the Navy’s advanced maritime surveillance technology. This high-stakes bust is part of the ongoing Operation Delta Sentinel, fueled by the “no-nonsense” orders of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Adm. Idi Abbas. The directive is simple: total neutralization of all illegal bunkering assets to safeguard Nigeria’s economic heartbeat. The Navy is no longer just patrolling the water—they are watching the land and the forest from above. Capt. Folorunsho warned that surveillance is being intensified and that inter-agency collaboration will ensure that every hidden pit in the Niger Delta is found and “decommissioned.” Post navigation 20 Drivers Hammered By FRSC For Overloading And Expired Licenses” Troops Storm Taraba Village, Grab Kidnappers After One “Sings” Like a Bird
