This is one of the oil sites among several in Bayelsa State that has been breached by illegal oil bunkers.
The act was for several years a recurrent decimal until the troops of 16 Brigade Garrison under the Joint Task Force of Operation Delta Safe stepped up their game.
In a guided tour of Defence Correspondents to some selected theatre of operations to have an on-the-spot experience of the difficult terrain the military operates in protecting the oil facilities, diverse challenges were encountered.
Though, the journey was rough and bumpy, navigating through gullies and dense forest, operational vehicle breaking down, others getting stock, improvised bridges being made, the target destination was finally accessed.
The arrival of the troops interrupted the nefarious activities of some economic saboteurs that fled abandoning their storage tanks and equipment for the military to later destroy.
Earlier at the Operation Delta Safe headquarters in Bayelsa, the Defence Media Operations team were briefed on the significant progress made in the fight against crude oil theft illegal refining and other act of economic sabotage.
The Team Lead, DMO, Commander, Godwin Egbunu on his part informed the Joint Task Force the purpose of the visit.
Despite inadequate operational equipment, difficult and hash terrain in the Niger Delta region, troops of Operations Delta Safe could be adjudged to have perform well in safeguarding the national assets as well as recording great strides that have led to an unprecedented surge in daily oil production through kinetic and non-kinetic approach.
