Meanwhile, in the Niger Delta, troops discovered and destroyed 65 illegal refining sites, two dugout pits, 58 boats and 39 storage tanks.

Also recovered were 13 cooking ovens, 35 drums, one motorcycle, one tricycle, four-speed boats,13 vehicles, 789,200 litres of stolen crude oil, and 64,950 litres of illegally refined AGO.

He emphasised that the military high Command is not oblivious to some security challenges citizens face in certain quarters and is reassessing operations in those areas to secure better and protect citizens.

He, therefore, “cautions persons or groups from making threats or inflammatory comments on untoward activities against troops’ presence or deployment as a result of ongoing operations. The outcome of such an act is better imagined than experienced,”.

Buba said the military recognises the urgency of ensuring peace and security for all citizens nationwide. Accordingly, it is working on new strategies to better protect the nation and its citizens.
