The Nigerian
Navy has impounded a 40-metre long wooden boat conveying about 65,000
litres of petroleum product around the River Niger.
Addressing reporters yesterday in Lokoja, the state capital, the Commander, NNS Lugard, Commodore Shuwa Muhammed, said the product was stored in nine Geepee tanks.
He said bunkerers abandoned the boat at a marshy area along the River Niger.
Commodore Muhammed said the product
would be handed over to officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) for testing and the boat would be destroyed.
Other items recovered include two
pumping machines, three Yamaha out-boat engines, three medium sized
hoses, 150 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), one machete, plastic
buckets, tools and five empty 25-litre Jerry cans.
