The Nigerian Navy has apprehended three men ferrying 10,000 litres of petrol to neighbouring Cameroon.

The men were arrested at Ibaka in the Mbo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom on Monday as they were smuggling the fuel out of Nigeria.

The Navy Forward Operating Base (FOB) commanding officer, Ibaka, Capt. Uche Aneke, handed over the suspects, the boat, and the petrol to the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps in Ibaka on Wednesday.

He said:

“Intelligence report indicated that a boat was conveying petroleum products to the Republic of Cameroon while transiting within the waters under FOB Ibaka’s area of operation.

“Gunboats from the base on routine night patrol were directed to intercept and impound the boat carrying 10,000 litres of petrol concealed under bags and covered with tarpaulin and arrest the occupants.”
