Nigeria’s navy arrested a vessel carrying 441,953 liters of suspected stolen crude oil in the country’s southern Niger River delta, Jerry Unoarumhi, a navy commander, told reporters today in the oil industry hub of Port Harcourt.
The crew of the vessel, which was stopped near the Nun River by a military patrol on Aug. 16, “had no valid document to confirm the source of what it was carrying,” he said. The arrested crew are being held at a military camp near the Brass oil export terminal, he added.
