 An illegal refinery at Muay Chem in actual local government-area and river state. State commandant of the core Basile, Iquebueze, says the anti-vandal units uncovered the site through credible intelligence. The team recovered the 20,000-litre capacity receiver open tank, 25-litre cooking pots and four-inch galvanized pipes. Speaking with newsmen at the illegal refinery site, spokesperson of the command, Olufemi Ayodeli, explains that the site was discovered by the anti-vandal units of the command. He promises that the officials of the command will ensure that all illegal refineries are destroyed. Also, the head of the anti-vandal, Peter Ibisu, explains how the illegal refineries works. The effect of operating a liberal oil bomb site like this, it has a negative and a debilitating effect on the environment. Because this environment has had causes of pollution and you can imagine if this activity should succeed in this particular environment, you know, it spreads across both the pollution and the air. And so, therefore, we are going to make sure that this is totally eradicated, but to make sure that this site does not operate. This particular place we are is not far from Ibubita. It's not far, and there is a pipeline that traverses there. And that pipeline conveys code. So what these brokers will do, they will connect the points. As you can see, the setting is still ongoing. They are here to conclude it. They will connect from the pipeline, tap from the pipeline, vandalize it, then feed this one. When they feed this one, it's from near the boil. It's from near the boil. There is different mechanism. They can use gas, they can use wood to boil. As the boil, just like the conventional refinery, fractional distillation. So now it will be passing through this point. When they heat, you know the moment you heat, as the temperature is going up, you have different products of petroleum. You have PMS, you have radio, you have DPK. So it will run through this pipe, but they don't heat it for long because PMS is very inflammable. So as soon as they heat it, they are OK. Meanwhile, the state commandant, Basel, Igwe Boise, promises to make the state uncomfortable for illegal oil dealers. The core will not remain in this effort to continue to tackle the illegal oil dealers and other vandals in the state so that the state will be very uncomfortable for them to print and consequently for them to either abandon their illegal trade to relocate to any other place that they deal favorably to print. Igwe Boise relies on actionable intelligence from the public to aid us in activities because we act on print intelligence and it is intelligence that drives our operation. The commandant maintains that the NSCDC has a clear statutory mandate to safeguard critical national assets and infrastructures across the Federation and with a state command will not be deterred by the activities of oil thieves.
