Nigerian Navy Recovers 33,800 Litres of Petroleum Products in Rivers, Sustains Crackdown on Oil Theft

By Isiaka MustaphaEditor in Chief, People’s Security Monitor

The breakthrough in its ongoing fight against crude oil theft and illegal refining activities in the Niger Delta, recovering 33,800 litres of petroleum products during a recent operation in Rivers State.The successful operation was carried out by personnel of Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) SOROH, a unit operating under Operation DELTA SENTINEL. Acting on credible intelligence on 25 September 2026, the naval team raided Ogbogolo Community in Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State, where they uncovered and dismantled two illegal refining sites.During the operation, the Navy recovered approximately 28,520 litres of illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and 5,280 litres of stolen crude oil, bringing the total volume of recovered petroleum products to 33,800 litres. Operatives also discovered 48 sacks, three dugout pits, two kegs and three cooking drums used for the storage and processing of the products.The suspects reportedly fled the area upon sighting the naval personnel, while the illegal refining facilities were deactivated in line with operational procedures.The Navy said the latest success underscores the effectiveness of Operation DELTA SENTINEL and highlights its commitment to intelligence driven operations, continuous surveillance and the disruption of criminal networks responsible for crude oil theft and economic sabotage.Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, has directed all naval formations and units to sustain the pressure on oil theft syndicates by intensifying operations aimed at protecting critical oil and gas infrastructure and denying criminals the freedom to operate.The Navy reaffirmed its resolve to continue leveraging maritime domain awareness capabilities, credible intelligence and collaboration with other security agencies and host communities to consolidate recent gains. It noted that these efforts remain vital to safeguarding Nigeria’s energy resources, boosting crude oil production and strengthening national economic security.
