 Still in reverse, the state's command of the LSDC has destroyed seven illegal refineries dump sites. It has also arrested nine suspected oil thieves. Four motorcycles were among the items seized from the suspects. The state's commandant of the LSDC, Aliyu Baturi disclosed these while parading some of the suspects at the commandant's coaches in the Port Harcourt River to the capital. It was represented by the command public relations officer assistant commandant Michael Oguntrashi. At about 17, 15 hours of 11th January 2022, seven illegal refineries were sighted and destroyed at Rumec Bay in the Emoha Luka government area of the state. Nine suspects were arrested. Four are the crime scene. Seventy-five cell of him bags filled with suspected illegally refined AGO, popular known as diesel, was also arrested and conveyed here, which you are seeing here from the crime scene. Oguntrashi, a federal express that the command has intensified strategies to rid the state of illegal refineries in order to reduce the impact of suit on the state and its environs. The destruction of these illegal products, it's not as if we are banning them. What they do is from booking. They only go there and destroy some of the things. We don't ban them. It is the banning that actually causes or contributes to the suit. We also have our internal mechanisms whereby we send our men out to scan for information and also to do what we call checking on some of these trucks when they are passing so as to ensure that any truck that is passing, if at all you succeed in getting this particular illegal product in your trucks, getting it to the target market has become a problem because you are going to meet our intelligence officers and an anti-vandal team who are there to check to know if the product you are carrying is actually adulterated or not. I believe this fight against them, stopping them from doing this cooking consistently is gradually stopping the issue or reducing the impact of the suit in the state.
