They were arrested with a truckload of refined diesel at the popular Samzino filling station in the area.

The Commander, IGP Special Task Force on Pipeline Vandalisation, PPMC Depot, Warri, SP Mohammed El-Yakubu, restated his commitment to the on-going war against crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism.
SP El-Yakubu warned the criminal elements behind the criminal act, especially within his area of coverage to desist as it would no longer be business as usual for them.
He said: “these recent arrest should serve as a warning signal to those perpetrating this criminal act to put an end to in this area as my Command is out to ensure that such is no longer allowed within my coverage area”.
The arrest of the four suspects is coming barely a week after the same team invaded two notorious illegal refineries camps in Oteghele and Ugbodede Communities both in Warri South Local Government Area and arrested nine persons alongside 15,000 litres of refined diesel.
