The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said that the federal government would soon reveal the identities of important personalities behind oil theft in the country.
Shehu said that as part of efforts to rid the country’s economy from sabotage of greedy few, security operatives had raided locations where illegal oil bunkering thrive.
Speaking on Trust TV’s Politics Today, and monitored by RoyalFM, Shehu hinted that there might be cases of some law enforcement agents engaging in the illegal act, but said that new measures were being taken to put a stop to it.
He added that it was embarrassing for Nigeria not to meet up with the quota given to it by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
On August 12, it was reported that a supertanker, by the name MV Heroic Idun, with a capacity of three million barrels, was seized by the navy of Equatorial Guinea, days after resisting arrest and fleeing Nigeria
