Operatives of the Nigerian Navy have recovered 92,660 litres of suspected illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and disrupted an oil theft network operating along the Rivers–Bayelsa border corridor.
The operation, conducted under Operation Delta Sentinel, led to the discovery of the products concealed in 138 sacks within creek-side locations in Rivers State.
Director of Information, Navy Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, disclosed the development on Saturday, saying the recovery followed credible intelligence and coordinated surveillance efforts.
