Nigerian Navy’s Forward Operating Base (FOB) at the coastal waters of Ibaka, in Mbo local government area of Akwa Ibom State, has busted a smuggling syndicate that specialises in smuggling petroleum products and other contraband goods to Cameroon and other countries within the Gulf of Guinea region.
Those arrested included three suspected oil thieves carrying 2,000 litres of PMS and 1,000 cartoons of beer for onward transmission to neighbouring Republic of Cameroon.

The commanding officer (CO) of the unit, Capt Uche Aneke, disclosed this yesterday while handing over the suspects, the seized items and other essential goods worth millions of naira to the officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Akwa Ibom State command.
Aneke said the suspects were arrested on Wednesday at about 7pm while on routine night patrol in Mbo River during stop-and-search operation.

“Navy intercepted a wooden boat laden with about 1,000 cartons of different brands of beer and other goods. Upon thorough search, our gunboat discovered drums of PMS amounting to 2,000 litres carefully concealed under the cartons with the intention of smuggling them into the Republic of Cameroon,” he explained.

Aneke warned individuals or groups involved in smuggling or any form of criminal activity within Nigeria’s waters to desist immediately, or be made to face the full weight of the law, when apprehended.

He reaffirmed the Navy’s commitment to combating maritime crimes in the state under the leadership of the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla.

According to him, criminal elements in their area of operations under the Eastern Naval Command Area would continue to be detected using advanced surveillance equipment and intelligence.

“Such criminals will be apprehended and duly prosecuted. Nigeria’s waters and the Nigerian coastal areas are not for illegal activities,” he warned.

Receiving the items, suspects and other goods, Assistant Superintendent of the Corps, Mr Willie Sunday, said the command would further investigate the case with a view to establishing the culpability and prosecution of the suspects.
