The illegal refineries and the products were destroyed in two separate operations inside the Warri creeks.
Gemu, who assumed duty in February, said his command would not condoled illegalities in the creeks. "We will deal decisively with oil thieves and pipeline vandals in my areas of responsibilities,’’ he warned.
According to him, there was a decline in the illegal activities and the operations were yielding results.
"We can see that the rate of illegal oil bunkering is declining in the creeks. We are able to destroy only five refineries and 31 drums of locally refined diesel.
He assured that the command would not relent on its oars until the illegality was eradicated.
