EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, disclosed this in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to Oyewale, the investigation followed the handover of the suspects to the EFCC by the Nigerian Navy Forward Operating Base, Bonny Island, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.

He quoted the Navy as saying that the vessel, MV Cabrini, and its eight crew members were apprehended during an operation on November 8, 2023.

“They were arrested with an unquantified amount of illegally acquired Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) along the Bonny Channel,” he said.
