Are u sure they are not part of it. ?

Oil Minister, NNPC and other regulators plus Nigeria’s Security agencies should be ashamed.

The security agencies have been found to be complicit in oil theft in Nigeria while some argue that either way the monies would be stolen regardless!

The government is the key. There should be full cleansing of the system for full and real effectiveness.

Along the nun River u will find military formations. What are they doing. They are doing nothing but collecting bribe.

In Bomadi there's a Military post. What are they doing? Nothing

They are collecting bribe. I have witnessed it. They do nothing. Govt is just wasting money paying them.

Between Bomadi to Oro to Ughelli u keep seeing petroleum theft Tax force. What are de doing?

All over the creeks you find big wooden boats being built. It's all for transportation of crude.

For Bunkering to stop then the government first needs flush out the bad guys in its own system. The security is our major problem. They don't secure rather they collect settlement and allow theft to continue.

They have been COMPROMISED. The government is part of the whole scam

Protecting the lines, between benisede flowstation and brass creek there's a delivering line heavily guarded by Navy, Army and Civil defence. But that line is currently the high tap line. So what are the Soldiers doing. They can't even protect a straight 3km line

There's a flow station called Benisede, there is military base there which comprises of Navy and Soldiers, just a few kilo away there's brass creek another major pipeline meeting point, also there are Soldiers and civil defence and surveillance

Pits are dug inside the push as storage. One area is Ojobo community which is the hight of bunkering along the Swamp West of Spdc operations.

The points are owned by some strong individuals, camps for cooking also are owned by some other individuals, you pay you load, transport to the ovens for cooking. The armies. Navy, civil defence are settled

In the host and neighbouring communities, crude oil theft is now a full time highly profiting job, we those who are specialist in tapping the line, we have those who are specialist in cooking the products and those for transportation.

A message to Shell. Only the govt can stop this crude theft. I have seen how it operates. Even the soldiers, Navy, civil defence and surveillance protecting the delivery line are fully involved. I talked with facts Cos I have carried enough Investigation on it

Where does Shell normally get their workers from? Because I have never heard they are recruiting 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
