It was gathered that operatives of the 146 Battalion Sector 2 command
of the JTF intercepted the big drums along the Samakiri creek in Bonny
local government area of Rivers State.
The drums were said to be floating towards a newly established illegal refinery at Samakiri creek when JTF uncovered them.
The Media Coordinator, JTF, Lt. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, said the operatives acting on a tip-off uncovered and destroyed the illegal refinery.
He said 15 suspected oil thieves were arrested by the outfit in different operations within the region.
He said after foiling the attempt to set up the refinery, the troops conducted a cordone-and-search operation and discovered the floating drums.
