He explained that the boat was arrested on Tuesday at about 5.00am while approaching one of the oil wells located in the state.

“From a credible source, a large boat known as Cotonou boat was sighted at about 23.9 nautical miles seaward of Imo River entrance,” he said.

The commander said the boat was abandoned by the crude oil thieves on sighting a Private Maritime Logistics Support Company (PMLSC) boat with Nigerian Navy personnel onboard.
