In Port Harcourt, Rivers State, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps seized a long container truck that had 70,000 litres of stolen petroleum products concealed in an integrated storage tank.
The NSCDC said in a post on Monday via X that the operation was conducted by the Special Intelligence Squad of the NSCDC Commandant General as part of continuous efforts to stop illicit bunkering and oil theft in the area.
The truck was intercepted in response to intelligence tips on the operations of oil thieves operating in the area, the NSCDC confirmed.
