Gen. Abdussalam, who explained that the perpetrators were determined to sabotage the economy of the nation through their illegal oil deals,
vowed that the Nigerian Army would redouble efforts to apprehend the sponsors of the economic crime.

He encouraged youths to embrace legitimate businesses, warning that no one found to be engaged in oil theft would be spared no matter their status in the society.

The GOC said that the confiscated products would be handed over to relevant agencies for further action.
