Nigerian military responsible for 99% oil theft — Asari Dokubo

Former agitator and prominent Niger Delta leader, Mujahid Asari Dokubo, on Friday, in Abuja, alleged that the bulk cases of oil theft recorded in the oil-rich region are traceable to the Nigerian military, “especially the Army and Navy”.

Dokubo stated this after his meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Speaking to State House Correspondents, he said; “The military is at the centre of oil theft and we have to make this very clear to the Nigerian public that 99 per cent of oil theft can be traced to the Nigerian military, the Army and the Navy especially”.

However, he pledged his support to the Federal Government to bring oil theft to “zero,” believing that the Tinubu-led administration would “fish out” the culpable elements in the military.

He said “Myself and my brothers have assured the President that there will be zero oil theft and vandalization in the Niger Delta.

“We’re going to walk with an NPPCL and the IOCs to make sure that oil tapped is brought to zero.”
