Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have commenced investigations of a suspected oil thief, two trucks, and a barge handed over to the Commission by the Nigerian Navy, NNS Delta, on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.

Lt. Cdr. E.O. Adeola, who represented the Commander NNS Delta at the handover in Warri, stated that Barge Oghenekome, two trucks laden with an unspecified quantity of products suspected to be crude oil, and one suspect (Samson Uki) were intercepted by men of NNS Delta at the NIWA jetty while discharging products from the barge into the trucks.
