Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the Director of NAF Public Relations and Information, reported that the criminal enterprise faced the full force of the Air Component’s firepower.

In a statement, Gabkwet said, “The air strike, which was intelligence-driven, targeted and neutralized the illegal oil refining site located at Dariama Village, approximately 20 kilometers southwest of Abonnema and 50 kilometers southwest of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.”

He emphasized that the illegal site was found to be active, with tanks and reservoirs filled with suspected illegal refined products.

“The air strike yet again demonstrates the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to eradicating the activities of oil thieves and illegal oil bunkerers,” Gabkwet stated.
