An Influential Leader in Niger Delta, Alhaji Mujaheed Asari Dokubo, has said over 99 per cent of oil theft in Nigeria is carried out by the Army and Navy,

Dokubo stated that,”The President has promised to investigate allegations of huge oil bunkering by ‘notorious’ naval commanders that are kingpins, and promised to take decisive action to halt the shameful act.

The former militant leader argued that,” Ordinary Niger Delta citizens who are often blamed for oil theft are not responsible, as they do not have the wherewithal to perform such sophisticated act of stealing.

According to him,“We discussed the issues of security and oil theft in Niger Delta. Myself and my brothers assured Mr. President that there will be no more oil theft in the Niger Delta.

“The military is at the centre of oil theft. 99 per cent of oil theft can be traced to the Nigeria military, the Army and the Navy.

“The Army and Navy intimidate the Civil Defence that have the responsibility to protect the oil facilities. The main culprits are the Army and the Navy.

“There are notorious Army commanders that are kingpins in the oil theft. The military men are busy stealing. The insurgents are harvesting from Nigeria military and police to further their criminality.

“I volunteered to help and to see an end to this evil. I can take bullet for Tinubu.”
