NIGERIAN ARMY DESTROYS 52 ILLEGAL REFINERIES IN RIVERS STATE

Nigerian troops of 2 Brigade, Nigerian Army during raids, and cordon and search operations as part of the training exercise “Exercise Crocodile Smile”, discovered and destroyed 52 illegal refineries and refinery cooking pots in Krakrama, Bille and Better land community general area.

The troops discovered 6 refining cooking pots at Better Land community which unfortunately could not be destroyed instantly because of proximity to the community. They also recovered 2 high powered Engine boats, 10 empty drums and 1 pumping machine. Plans for destroying the illegal refinery with Swamp Buggy is in progress.

Similarly, the troops, in an anti-cultism operation, yesterday cleared a notorious kidnappers camp at Obiozumini near Obite in Ogbema/Ndoni/Egbema Local Government Area of Rivers State.

 The troops who were earlier ambushed, engaged and subdued the kidnappers while one kidnap victim was rescued from the camp. The ongoing operation would be sustained until criminality is subdued.
