The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, said the Niger Delta has fallen and now under the full control of the Nigerian military.
This, according to him, has led to a drastic reduction in oil theft and illegal bunkering. He attributed to the establishment of new army formations in the region which has checkmated illegal activities in the region.
He made the disclosure while on a tour of army formations in Aka Ibom, including the newly established 2 Brigade in Uyo.
His words: “Strictly speaking, there is no rise (in illegal bunkering and oil theft) because of the efforts of all the stakeholders – the military and other security agencies – working hard to make sure that the sabotage is checked,” Buratai said to journalists on Tuesday.
“That is why you see so many arrests, so many moves to stop the illegal bunkering. It is a new drive, new effort put by all the security agencies.
“You know that we have a new 6 Division (of the Nigerian Army) that has been established.
‘’By that establishment, we have more areas which hitherto have not been touched.
‘’We have an experienced General Officer Commanding of the division, who has gone virtually to those areas that hitherto have been isolated.”
