 So let me use the Western Naval Command on Friday confiscated four trucks used for illegal bunkering around the Idemo area of Lagos. The flag officer commanding rare admiral Jason Basas says the trucks will be forfeited to the federal government. Plus TV Africa's correspondent Destiny Momoa has more. In recent times, van der Leezen, illegal bunkering and oil theft have led to lots of revenues to the Nigerian government. The oil firms that own the assets from which these crimes are committed are not spared too. But the Western Naval Command is not resting either. The flag officer commanding rare admiral Jason Basas is here at the site of an illegal operation at Idemo area of Lagos. Apparently, the bunkers saw the men of the Nigerian Navy approaching. The corporates absconded, leaving their trucks and appliances behind. He speaks to newsmen on the development. This is a result of a pinstaking work following the credible intelligence we received for some weeks now. Repeatedly, we've been on this case, but yesterday we set up and all we discovered is four trucks came into this area. The striking thing is that within a built-up area like this, for people to have the air frontry to come out and carry out illegal acts. The air frontry to carry out such illegal activities against the mandate of operation at Wasse in a built-up area is appalling. These trucks are forfeited to the federal government, but on our own part will continue to pursue the perpetrators, at least to know those who are sponsoring this illegal act. Loaded trucks have been moved back to base for follow-up investigations. Then, they'll be handed over to the appropriate agencies. Plants are also on ground to get them forfeited to the federal government. For a group of people to reap the nation of such decent free without any direct investment on it. BASA is grateful to the people of the community for providing the intelligence needed to halt the illegal activity. Their collaboration in pursuit of perpetrators of these crimes has been very helpful. Recently, Western Never Command hosted the U.S. and Spanish naval ships to strengthen bilateral relations and enhance maritime security in Nigeria. Hopefully, these moves will take Nigeria closer to reducing the crimes to the barest minimum. Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa.
