The Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder stated that its operatives have destroyed five illegal refining sites in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The Navy said the sites used for massive illegal bunkering activities in the area had sixty-two ovens, twenty-one reservoirs, and fifty-five dugout pits containing approximately fifty thousand liters of suspected stolen crude oil.
The sites also contain 83,000 liters of illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil and 20,000 liters of refined kerosene unlawfully.
The Commander of Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder, Commodore Cajethan Aniaku, disclosed this in a statement he signed and sent to the media in Port Harcourt on Sunday night.
Aniaku said the feat followed a recent operation against crude oil theft and illegal bunkering activities in the area on 14th June 2025, by the NNS Pathfinder Tactical Team.
