The Nigerian Navy says it dismantled 48 illegal refinery sites, recovered about 4.698 million litres of stolen crude oil and illegally refined petroleum products, and arrested more than 91 suspects involved in crude oil theft, pipeline vandalism, militancy and related offences during the second quarter of 2026.

The Director of Naval Information, Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday.

He said the Navy also intercepted several vessels engaged in crude oil theft and dismantled criminal logistics networks supporting economic sabotage across the Niger Delta.
