Bunkering: NSCDC rejigs Rivers Command, forms new unit after Wike’s demand

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Commandant-General, Ahmed Audi, has ordered the rejig of the Rivers State Command.

The CG also on Monday stated war against petroleum pipeline vandals and oil bunkerers in the state.

Corps spokesperson, Olusola Odumosu, noted that the management liked sanctifying operations.

Audi had actually gotten rid of Head of the Anti-Vandal Unit, State Commandant and Zonal Commander.

The CG dissolved the system after Governor Nyesom Wike implicated the NSCDC of aiding bunkering. A video revealing workers apparently safeguarding prohibited activities trended.

Wike’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) stormed the area with a cops contingent and deactivated the NSCDC team leader.

Audi directed the new unit to fight all financial saboteurs, arrest oil burglars and dismantle all illegal refineries.

“Any attempt to delay immediate prosecution of arrested suspects amounts jeopardize.

“Any personnel caught collecting settlement or tampering with seized tankers, petroleum products and other exhibitions would be sanctioned and handled decisively.

“This will be according to the Standard Operating Procedures and Code of Ethics of the Corps”, he stated.
