Nigerian Navy Foils Illegal Refining Comeback, Recovers 103,000 Litres in Rivers

The Nigerian Navy has frustrated attempts by criminal elements to revive illegal refining activities in Rivers State, with personnel of Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) PATHFINDER disrupting three illegal refining sites and recovering approximately 103,000 litres of products suspected to be illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) around the Ohaji axis of Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area.

The operation, conducted on 22 August 2026 following credible intelligence, uncovered 12 dugout pits, sacks and reservoirs containing the suspected illegally refined products, alongside two pumping machines.

The intervention comes barely a week after NNS PATHFINDER disrupted two illegal refining sites within the same general area on 15 August 2026. The successive interventions have constrained efforts to rebuild illegal refining infrastructure, with a noticeable decline in the reactivation of such sites.

The illegal refining sites, recovered products and associated equipment were handled in accordance with established anti-crude oil theft procedures. No arrest was made as the operators had fled before the arrival of the naval troops.

The latest success demonstrates the impact of sustained naval pressure on the infrastructure that enables illegal refining and crude oil theft, thereby denying criminal elements the capacity to restore their illicit operations.

The Nigerian Navy remains committed to sustaining Operation DELTA SENTINEL to protect Nigeria’s oil and gas assets, disrupt economic sabotage and create a secure environment for legitimate production and investment.

In the course of investigation by operatives of the EFCC, it was discovered that the suspect rents different Toyota Hilux trucks, disguises as a wealthy contractor, moves with escorts and meets BDC operators in the south-east and allegedly tricks them into parting with their had earned money, by presenting fake alerts in Naira to them, after collecting their money.

According to Chukwumuanya, “I gave him the dollar and he counted it by himself. After confirmation, he then asked for my bank details. After giving him my account number, he mentioned my name that popped up on his bank application, I confirmed it. The next thing he told me was that it had gone through, which I waited for the alert to come, to no avail. Because of time, he asked me to go and that I will get it, that it could be network issues and I left because of his personality”. He alleged that soon after that, the suspect became incommunicado.

Another petitioner, based in Owerri, Imo State, one Chief Nwaoha Ubaferem equally alleged that Wasiu defrauded him of the sum of $7,000. He said, “the dollar on me was $2,600, then I called my office to bring additional $4,400 to me to complete it as he requested for $7,000. As we were waiting, he complained that he was running late and we decided to move to Royce Road from Port Harcourt Road where he finally collected the money from me, resumed transfer, called my name and informed me that the transfer had gone which I believed but continued to expect alert from him”.
