The Forward Operating Base, FOB, of the Nigerian Navy in Badagry, Lagos State, has intercepted 15,540 litres of petrol stored in a building along the creeks.

The Commanding Officer of the FOB, Navy Capt. B A Amakiri, said naval operatives intercepted 518 ร—30 Jerry cans on Thursday, at about 11:00 am, at Agbojetho-Akorin Beach along Badagry-Seme Road.

According to him, the navy acted after receiving an intelligence tip-off about the activities of some suspected smugglers within the area.

โ€œThe intelligence indicated that several jerry cans suspected to contain petrol were stored in a building within Agbojetho-Akorin Beach along Badagry-Seme Road.

โ€œConsequently, the Base Quick Response Team proceeded to the beach general area for investigation and possible arrest and seizure.

โ€œThe team conducted a cordon and search operation in the area and discovered 518 x 30 litres jerry cans of the suspected products,โ€ he said.

Amakiri explained that the quantity of the petrol product translates to about 15,540litres, valued at N9,479,400 at the current rate of about N610 per litre.

โ€œThe perpetrators absconded on getting information about the approach of the team.

โ€œIt is suspected that the perpetrators had the intention of smuggling the products out of Nigeria to the Benin Republic.

โ€œThe adjoining communities were also searched, but no other products or suspects were found,โ€ he said.

Amakiri restated the commitment of his officers to continue making smuggling unattractive, adding that the economic saboteurs would be frustrated until smuggling was suppressed to the barest minimum.
