The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Rivers State on Wednesday said it has uncovered three large illegal dumps, destroyed 15 illegal refineries, arrested trucks and arrested 93 suspected pipeline vandals and illegal bunkers.
According to the State Commandant of the NSCDC, Mohammed Haruna, a filling station has also been sealed off as a fall out of efforts in fighting illegal dealings business in the state.
Some of the trucks impounded include a tipper with specially built-in tank loaded with illegally refined ago, a truck with about 600 bags of illegally refined ago and others laden with about 200, 000 litres of petroleum products arrested at different times in the last two months in Gokana, Oyigbo and Obio Akpor Local Government Areas of the state.
The command has also uncovered an illegal bunkering site at a residential area in Mbano camp in Oyigbo Local Government Area.
While conducting journalists around some the illegal dumps, the state commandant expressed concerns that at the rate of arrests, the command may run out of places to keep arrested trucks.
