Police Warning: Elements Plan to Attack Oil Facilities
in Niger Delta
Warns of Dire Consequences for Law Breakers
The Nigeria Police Force has uncovered specific plots by some
subversive elements masquerading as climate and environmental
activists to commence massive and coordinated attacks on oil
installations across the country especially in the Niger-Delta
region and adjoining States. These plots which are politically
motivated, are aimed at sabotaging oil installations with intended
negative consequences on national security, economic development
and global oil market.
Consequently, the Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP M.A
Adamu, NPM, mni has ordered Commissioners of Police nationwide, and
particularly in designated States to intensify their surveillance
missions around oil facilities and other critical national
infrastructure. The Commissioners of Police and other field
Commanders have also been directed to put in place proactive
measures aimed at neutralizing these subversive threats and
bringing the plotters to book. The IGP warned of dire consequences
for persons or group of persons who may want to resort, to the use
of violence or threat of violence, in advancing their political or
economic goals.
While urging citizens to remain vigilant, report all suspicious
characters and plots to the law enforcement agents, the IGP
reaffirms his commitment to ensuring the adequate security of
lives, the protection of national assets and the protection of the
sanctity of our political freedom and democracy.
