Buba said the redesigned strategy aims to curb the menace of oil theft in the country.

The spokesman said that the operations would be conducted through a unified command structure for all security agencies operating in the region.

He said that the operations would target specific areas that had significant capability to boost crude oil production.

The targeted areas, according to him, includes, but not limited to enforcing and ensuring transparency by International Oil Companies operating in the region.

“Others are; ensuring the integrity of the metering systems deployed at flow stations and tracking of point of loading to destination point of the crude oil.

“Furthermore, operations will also concentrate on surveillance of the pipelines, jackets and well head to forestall breaches.

“Overall, operations will galvanise the support of the people of the Niger Delta as well as the stakeholders in the oil sector to support the drive to boost the nation’s oil production.

“Importantly, operations will ensure prosecution of culprits engaged in crude oil theft,’’ he said.

“Other items recovered include 31 cooking ovens, five vehicles, three mobile phones and 31 illegal refining sites.

“Troops recovered 715,325 litres of stolen crude oil and 148,415 litres of illegally refined AGO,’’ he said. (NAN) (
