Three suspected vandals have been
arrested for engaging in oil bunkering around the creeks in the FESTAC
Town area of Lagos State.
The suspects – Johnson Igadu, 25, Daniel Poku, 25, and 26-year-old Sterling Longlife – told PUNCH Metro that they carried out the operation after allegedly getting assurances from some military officers that nothing would go wrong.
The suspects, who were paraded on
Tuesday at the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps’, Lagos State
Command headquarters in Ikeja, said their kingpin, identified as Soji,
was still at large.
They alleged that the soldiers colluded with them in the operation.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Soji
had on May 21, 2016 engaged the suspects to convey 10 barrels of fuel in
a boat from 7th Avenue, FESTAC Town, to a place called Ghana village,
saying he had “settled” the military men monitoring the waterways in the
area.http://www.punchng.com/settled-soldiers-smuggle-oil-suspected-vandals/
