Commander Sunday Lakan made this revelation while addressing the press at the NNS SOROH base, underscoring the navy’s commitment to maintaining security and upholding the law in the region.
According to Lakan, the breakthrough came as a result of actionable intelligence provided by vigilant members of the public regarding the illicit stealing and transportation of crude oil products in the area.
“Our personnel swiftly responded to the tip-off and intercepted the truck in question. Despite the driver’s attempt to flee upon our arrival, we were able to secure the vehicle and its contents for further investigation,” Lakan explained.
In addition to the seized tank truck, naval personnel also intercepted a Mazda vehicle loaded with 1,300 liters of illegally refined products, further highlighting the scope of the illicit operations in the region.
“We have arrested two suspects, one male and one female, who were found in possession of the illegal products. They will be subjected to thorough investigation, and appropriate legal action will be taken,” Lakan asserted.
Expressing the navy’s unwavering commitment to combatting criminal activities in the region, Lakan issued a stern warning to individuals involved in illegal oil bunkering, emphasizing that the full force of the law would be brought to bear on perpetrators.
He urged members of the public to continue supporting law enforcement efforts by providing timely and credible information to enable the navy to effectively tackle crude oil theft and other unlawful activities.
The successful operation underscores the Nigerian Navy’s determination to safeguard the nation’s resources and preserve the integrity of its maritime domain, ensuring a safer and more secure environment for all stakeholders.

A former security guard, 22-year-old Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, has confessed to his involvement in the murder of Olakitan Ibiyola Oyesiku, a retired Ogun State broadcaster widely known as Aunty Kitan. The 67-year-old Oyesiku, who had retired from Ogun State Television, was killed along with her current security guard, Pelumi Adetayo, at her residence in Agodo village, Kobape, Abeokuta.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation into the deaths was spearheaded by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, who revealed that a crucial handwritten note found at the scene played a pivotal role in leading detectives to the suspects.
“We met her lying, facing upward to the sky, and we saw a paper, a note on her chest, and we equally found the same paper differently spread on the table in the living room,” Ojajuni stated. He further explained, “We discovered that the one that was met on her chest, the handwriting was totally different from the others that were spread.”
The use of intelligence gathering and technical tracking enabled the police to recover the deceased’s Lexus RX 330 and subsequently arrest three suspects. They were identified as Olajuwon (the former employee), 27-year-old Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, and 36-year-old Sobu Obafunsho.
A Tragic Motive: Money for Rent and Perceived Unfair Pay Upon questioning, Olajuwon provided a detailed and disturbing account of why the attack was orchestrated. He explained that a primary motive was the need for money to secure new housing for himself and Ayoola.
“My name is Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, and I am 22 years old. Myself, Shakirudeen and Sobu participated in the robbery and killing,” he confessed. He further elaborated, “We did it because she did not pay us well when we worked for her.”
Describing the robbery, Olajuwon recounted: “Shakirudeen and I needed more money to rent an apartment. So, we wore masks, forced the security guard to ring the bell, and after gaining entry, the security guard was taken back to his post.”
Following the attack, the group stole Oyesiku’s vehicle. Olajuwon detailed their escape, saying, “We left with her vehicle. Shakirudeen drove the car while we left together. We collected it from her before she died and drove to Onikolobo. I alighted under the bridge and went straight home, while Shakirudeen drove away with the vehicle.”
The stolen Lexus RX 330 was later recovered by the police in proximity to Olajuwon’s residence. The investigators found that the vehicle’s license plates had been removed and concealed under one of the seats.
