Dandaura reaffirmed the NSCDC’s commitment to apprehending and prosecuting those engaged in illegal petroleum-related activities, ensuring they face the full consequences of the law.

Despite continuous efforts to dismantle illegal bunkering sites and prosecute offenders, the NSCDC urged communities to collaborate by providing actionable intelligence, emphasizing that intelligence gathering is essential for effective security operations. The NSCDC vowed to persist in its fight against oil theft and related crimes.
