A statement by NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet said its aircraft on 26 July 2024 carried out armed air reconnaissance in Umueze in Abia State which revealed several illegal refining sites situated in many fenced households.

AVM Gabkwet said the information was subsequently relayed to ground troops for further exploitation and necessary action.

The Director added that heading towards Owaza, three illegal refining sites were observed hidden under thick vegetations, which were subsequently destroyed.

He said the crew thereafter, followed the river line down to Komkom and Okoloma in Rivers State, where nine illegal refining sites and two reservoirs were discovered and equally destroyed.

“In total, 12 illegal refining sites and 2 reservoirs were destroyed,” Gabkwet said.

He added the sighting of illegal refining sites in fenced living environments is indicative of the sophistry of the illegal trade that would require other means beyond airstrikes to checkmate.

“Those engaged in these acts, especially in fenced living environments, are again reminded of their danger to human lives and health as well as the environment. Be that as may, armed reconnaissance missions as well as destruction of illegal refining sites will continue unabated until crude oil theft and other forms of economic sabotage are reduced to the barest minimum,” he said.
