 Navy Thwarts Attempt to Siphon Petroleum Products, Arrests Nine in Lagos


The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Beecroft has foiled an attempt by vandals to siphon petroleum products into 408 drums loaded on a wooden boat near the Lagos anchorage.


Seven suspects, allegedly fleeing to Benin Republic, were arrested along with three pumping machines and eight Yamaha 40HP outboard engines. The Western Regional Control Centre of Falcon Eye Alignment had alerted the NNS Beecroft Quick Response Team (QRT) at Tarkwa Bay about the suspicious movement.


In a separate operation, two additional suspects were arrested in the Topo, Badagry axis while allegedly assisting smugglers’ boats. They were caught with a 40HP Yamaha outboard engine, and intercepted phone conversations suggested they had been hired to supply it.


Furthermore, on February 11, 2025, the Navy intercepted 28 bags of Cannabis Sativa, weighing over 756kg, at Long Jetty, Ibeche Beach. The suspects fled upon sighting the QRT.


Handing over the suspects and recovered items to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Commodore Paul Nimmyel warned criminals to stay away from naval operations or face consequences.


He reaffirmed the Navy’s commitment to eradicating illegal oil bunkering, smuggling, and drug trafficking, aligning with the mandate of the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla.


NSCDC Representative, Superintendent Amao Kehinde, stated that detectives would prosecute the suspects, while seized items would be moved to the Corps’ exhibit yard in Ijora, Lagos. Meanwhile, NDLEA Acting Marine Commander, DCN Emmanuel Udoh, confirmed that the confiscated Cannabis Sativa would be destroyed after investigations.
