…Confiscates 56 Bags of Cannabis in Lagos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigerian Navy units across the Nation\u2019s maritime domain fighting against oil theft, have uncovered a storage facility for illegal oil bunkering, and rescued 4 fishermen just as they seized 56 bags of cannabis in the last two days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement by Naval headquarters said, \u2018Specifically on Monday, 22 July 2024, the Quick Response Team of Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder under the auspices of Operation Delta Sanity uncovered an illegal storage facility used by illegal bunkerers of crude oil and refined products at Egbema Okwuzi town in Rivers State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccordingly, the team swiftly cordoned the area and arrested 2 suspects involved in the illegal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201d About 68,000 litres of illegally refined Automative Gas Oil was stored in various containers, sacks, drums and tanks within the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdditionally, equipment such as pumping machines, hoses, and outboard engines, were also discovered within the illegal facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInvestigations are ongoing to ascertain the owner of the illegal facility and other collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the same day, Monday 22 July 2024 at about 9:40pm, personnel of the Nigerian Navy Forward Operating Base Badagry rescued 4 drowning fishermen about 10 nautical miles from Lagos Fair Way Bouy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fishermen were all Ghanaians fishing within the area when their boat capsized due to the rough seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a different incident, on Wednesday 24 July 2024, the Quick Response Team of Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft intercepted a wooden boat loaded with 56 bags of cannabis sativa at Moba Beach, Badagry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Quick Response Team is currently in pursuit of the suspects who will be arrested soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is important to remind all operators and stakeholders within the Nation\u2019s maritime domain that under the leadership of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, the Nigerian Navy is poised to keep Nation\u2019s waters safe and secure for legitimate economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, nefarious elements are advised to desist from perpetuating any form of illegalities within Nigeria\u2019s territorial waters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
