Nigerian Navy recovers 1330 cans of Petrol from oil thieves.

The Nigerian Navy says it has recovered 1,330 jerry cans filled with petrol, during a raid on oil thieves in Atlas Cove Island in Lagos. The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Commander, Rear Adm. Maurice Eno, told journalists on Saturday night that the product was evacuated from a storage facility in Ilado/Idimangoro area of the island.  
According to the naval chief, the petroleum product was stolen from vandalised NNPC pipelines on Atlas Cove Island.  Eno said that no person was found at the storage facility during the raid.  He said that the navy monitored activities in the area for about three weeks to ascertain the veracity of the information.  
“On December 14, at about 8.10 a.m., a detachment of personnel from the NNS Beecroft raided the locations and discovered a storage facility having over one thousand five hundred jerricans. 1,330 of the Jerricans contained product suspected to be premium Motor Spirit(PMS) believed to have been siphoned from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipelines laid on the island. At the time of the raid, no person was found on the storage facility,” he said.  
“The team also discovered the siphoning points where valves were connected by the vandals to steal the product. It is pertinent to note that NNPC pipelines laid on Atlas Cove Island are under the supervision and care of Top Line Security Limited/Kings Guard Security Company. It is obvious that these acts may not have gone unnoticed by these private security outfits,” he said.  
Eno said that the navy was committed to assisting the NNPC in dealing with pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft.
“The navy is using this medium to warn pipeline vandals and other criminal elements particularly in our maritime environment to desist from nefarious activities and pursue lawful means of livelihood,” he said.

Ifeanyi reportedly hit Sunday with a heavy weapon, weakening him, then he cut off his genitals with a knife and Sunday bled to death. The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Maryrose Ikwunyelu narrated the incident that led to her husband’s sudden demise. She said: I was in front of my shop playing ludo game with one nurse Rebecca when Ifeanyi, who hap­pens to be my husband’s brother, joined us. He requested to be allowed to participate in the game but I declined on the ground that he often caused trouble each time he participated and lost out in the game.
