Security agents, pipeline operators behind oil theft — Ex-Naval commander

Former Commander of Operation Delta Safe, Rear Admiral Suleiman Apochi (retd.), on Friday, alleged that security agents are deeply involved in crude oil theft in the country.

Testifying before the Rep Ado Doguwa-led joint ad hoc committees probing into the issue, Apochi claimed oil theft is carried out with the collaboration of operators of the oil wells and sponsors of the nefarious activity.

Apochi, who served as Commander of Operation Delta Safe between 2016 and 2019, noted that there is no way crude oil can be stolen from the nation’s export pipeline without the collaboration of the three groups: the sponsors, the pipeline operators and security agents.
