Truck with NNPC inscription caught with stolen crude

In a visual report by the NNPC, the truck was seen in the video surrounded by government and private security agencies.

In the past week, 36 illegal pipeline connections and 99 illegal refineries were uncovered, the NNPC said, stressing that the war on crude oil theft and industry-wide security collaboration on hydrocarbon infrastructure continued to record “remarkable progress”.

“Between September 7 and 13, 2024, a total of 218 incidences were recorded across several locations in the Niger Delta region from various incident sources like Tantita Security Agency, Shell Petroleum Development Company, Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited, Maton Engineering Nigeria Limited, Oando PLC, NNPC Limited’s Command and Control Centres and government security agencies,” the report stated.

In Rivers State, four illegal pipelines said to be cleverly hidden and connected to a crude oil line were exposed.

“These pipelines had been siphoning off precious resources from the nation’s coffers,” the NNPC stated.
