NNPC captures three oil pipeline vandals in Ogun, recoups 20,000 liters of fuel

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) war against oil pipeline vandalism is by all accounts yielding natural products as the partnership recouped no less than 20,000 liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also called petrol, from three vandals in Ogun State.

The vandals, Lanre Adewusi (47), Agbor Ayang (25) and Ebak Oyama (24), were gotten in Ogere Remo in Ogun State while siphoning fuel. Different individuals from the group fled on locating the security agents.

By NNPC, the stolen fuel were stacked in around 980 jerry jars of 25 and 50 liters sizes.

One of the suspects, Adewusi, who guaranteed to be a worker, said he was pure of the demonstration, as he was baited by different individuals from the posse in the wake of coming into the hedge to get wood.

"A companion of mine called Kola welcomed me to come and get wood, since we are workers. I never knew he was conveying me to scoop fuel. It was the point at which I arrived that I saw every one of the exercises going ahead here, yet no sooner than we began, the security organizations came and captured us. Kola was lucky to flee, but since I don't have the foggiest idea about the course in the shrubbery I couldn't run and I was captured," he said.

The Pipeline Products Marketing Company (PPMC), an auxiliary of the NNPC, connected the harm to the fuel supply lack in the framework, guaranteeing that it would keep on working with security authorities to ensure the lines the nation over.

The Security Coordinator, Topline Letting Limited, (the firm responsible for ensuring NNPC pipelines in the South West), Adigun Adetona, depicted the capture as a point of interest accomplishment, which would send a solid sign to different vandals working in the territory.

He said: "Topline, as a team with security offices will keep on defying the vandals and match them with whatever they have. It is no more the same old thing."

By, the organization made a few revelations and captures in December at Ajewe, Ilase and Robert town close Atlas Cove, which pulled in the consideration of the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu.

The Operations Manager, Joshua Aminu said: "We were tipped about the exercises going ahead here around a month prior. Express gratitude toward God we got them today. We have brushed all over the place and seized their gear, including the siphoned items and several void jerry jars."
