The Nigerian Navy, Forward Operating Base (FOB), Igbokoda, has intercepted a locally fabricated wooden boat conveying about 1,400 litres of illegally refined oil stored in 44 jerry cans at Ese Odo LGA of Ondo State.
Men of the Quick Response Team of Agadagba Naval Outpost, who were acting on credible intelligence, intercepted the boat at the weekend.

Usman added that the seized wooden boat and its contents would be handled and deactivated in line with existing regulations and directives from the defence headquarters.
The Navy commended Tantita Security Services and Gallery Security Services for their swift and credible intelligence, which has significantly contributed to the fight against crude oil theft and the safeguarding of Nigeria’s maritime environment.
Captain Aliyu said, “Perpetrators of economic sabotage and other criminal activities should desist, as the Nigerian Navy remains committed to securing the maritime environment and eliminating illegal operations.
