Nigeria oil theft at highest level in years



Nigeria is facing its worst oil crisis in years as the country is losing billions of dollars due to theft. Some multinational companies are even selling their oilfields. Despite low-level arrests on the issue, there have been no serious large-scale prosecutions. From the Bayelsa state, Al Jazeera’s Rawya Rageh reports.

    Big oil company's are literally land rapists. If anyone's entitled to the wealth from the oil it should be the people who are actually from that country not a foreign company already worth billion's

    Welcome to Africa where we solve the effect and leave the causes. The will destroy these illegal oil miners base but will never give them jobs to do.
    So they will end up on the street with other illegal activity or will come back again

    Why do we do these, oh my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 if you had provided these boy’s school and social amenities, it would have been better you’re using this boy’s as scape goat while the BIG DOG escapes, even if you catch them. Take them in,train them better and give them jobs in oil refineries because of the knowledge they hold already 🫠🫠🇳🇬🇳🇬

    🤔 corruption & greed at the top – desperation & poverty at the bottom and the in house fighting for control in the middle … dare I say “TIA “ even the so called security are actually worse than the offenders… emptying Jerry cans of fuel ⛽️ into the river !! And then burning vast volumes of oil emitting toxic smoke into the atmosphere… the absolute predictability of utter senseless stupidity..

    The unpatriotic Nigerian government and politicians should be held responsible. How can the six largest oil producing country be importing fuel, Kerosine, you can't see to buy in fuel stations, cooking gas is beyond the reach of the common man. These illegal refinery produces about 70 percent of kerosine and gas used by the average Nigerian.
