Suspected Oil Thieves Accuse Naval Officer Of Sponsorship

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Rivers State Command,last Friday paraded eight men suspected to be illegal oil bunckerers, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital
The suspects, however,accused a Naval personnel, one Mohammed Miike as the alleged sponsor of their activities.
One of the suspects who was paraded by NSCDC, said the Naval officer Miike, called his friend Adamu Sani who contracted them.
He said the Naval officer allegedly gave them the Navy Attire they adorned for the illegal operation and gave them work at an oil vessel when luck ran out on them and they got arrested by officials of Nigeria Navy Ship (NNS) Pathfinder Rumulomeni.
The eight suspects who were in Navy attire while being paraded have since been handed over to Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) by the NNS pathfinder.
Attempts to get the Navy authorities to speak on the matter were not successful.
