In a statement signed by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi and made available to NAOSRE, the IG explained that the
successes were achieved in Rivers State and some other parts of the country, sequel to the unrelenting pragmatic and sustained fight against collectively by the Federal Government, and the Inspector-General of Police. The collective effort has assisted greatly in the fight against bunker traders and purveyors of adulterated petroleum products within the country.

Amongst the suspects that were arrested and paraded before the press today in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State were 31-year-old Rabiu Halidu from Katsina State, 30-year-old Michael Okoro from Rivers State, 50-year-old Arinze Eze from Enugu State, 22-year-old Lukman Musa from Kogi State, 18-year-old Sefiu Ibrahim from Kano State, and 25-year-old Nura Isiaku from Kaduna State. The trio of Lukman, Sefiu, and Nura hid drums of crude oil in a truck stacked with sacks of fertilizer. They however ran out of luck upon thorough stop and search by an operational team of the IGP-STFPIB.

The Commander IGP-STFPIB, DCP Usman Jubrin Kanfani, reported that the forfeited products which were tested and confirmed by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), and approved private laboratories; and forfeited vehicles, are in the custody of the Nigerian Pipelines and Storage Company (NPSC) Ltd., while motions for the forfeiture of the rest are still pending in different Courts.

The Inspector-General of Police commended the efforts of Commander IGP-STFPIB and his team for their diligence even as he called for frequent operational patrols in a bid to curb the incessant activities of illegal bunker traders and economic saboteurs. The IGP equally charged officers and men of the Force to be committed, patriotic, and focussed on their statutory duties of preventing crimes, and protection of lives and property in line with extant laws of the land.
