The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has extended the Navy’s Operation Delta Sanity (ODS) by another three months.
Nigerian Navy’s spokesperson Commodore Aiwuyor Aliu-Adams, said the extension was due to the “achievements and successes” of the operation in the past three months.
Operation Delta Sanity, a military operation against oil thieves and other martine crimes, was launched on January 6, in compliance with President Bola Tinubu’s directive to stop crude oil theft and improve the country’s oil production. It was to terminate in April but later extended to July due to the successes recorded.
The Navy’s spokesperson said 122 illegal refining sites were destroyed and 22 suspects arrested since the extension of the operation in April.
