A vessel which specialises in stealing Nigeria's crude oil has been intercepted with 600 cubic meters of crude oil logged in 5 compartments of the 12 compartment vessel.
The massive vessel, which was loaded with illegal crude oil in Delta State, was intercepted by Tompolo's security operatives as his staff rejected a N25 million bribe from the shop owner.
The vessel was intercepted in the escravos area of Delta State. The vessel has been set ablaze to send a warning signal to other perpetrators of what awaits them if found.
The crew on board the vessel were arrested and handed over to government security agents. However, further investigation has been ongoing to get the sponsors and other perpetrators of the crude oil theft.
