NSCDC Nabs Fake Naval Officers, 29 Oil Thieves
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps at the weekend paraded eight fake naval officers on an illegal escort in Port Harcourt. The impersonators were paraded alongside 29 suspected oil thieves.
The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Muktar Lawal, disclosed this while parading the suspects and seized trucks before journalists at the command’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
Lawal stated: “Today (Friday), the command is parading 37 suspected oil thieves, 13 trucks, 18 drums containing suspected adulterated stolen petroleum products, one bus, five cars, one pumping machine, 37 pieces of suspected vandalised railway clips, four suspected railway slippers, a cylinder and a torchlight suspected to be used for act of vandalism.
“On April 9, 2021, the Nigeria Navy Ship Pathfinderz Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, handed over eight suspects to the command arrested for alleged naval impersonation and illegal escort duty onboard a security boat MV SANDUST.”
While noting that the arrested suspects were being investigated for possible prosecution, he restated the corps’ commitment to protecting the nation’s critical assets and infrastructure.
He added, “The fight against vandalism along the rail tracks and all oil installations in Rivers State is still ongoing and will not stop until vandals stay off the critical national assets and infrastructure in the state.”
