• Own pipelines, refineries in S/Africa! • Merchant Navy boss vows to expose cartel
THE battle against uniformed officers in illegal bunkering business, may be far from over, as National Daily investigations have unearthed more unwholesome revelations regarding the nefarious activities of the supposed military guardian of the country's territorial waters. It has been discovered that the country, Africa's largest oil-producer and the seventh highest in the world, is presently losing more crude oil than it is officially selling, in view of the activities of naval men who are busy diverting unbelievable quantity of crude oil abroad daily via bunkering activities. Estimate made available indicated that the country loses $1.6 billion (£1.1 billion) a year to oil bunkerers. The Director General and Commandant of the Nigeria Merchant Navy, Commodore Allen Benson Edema, threw more light on this dastard act in an encounter with the newspaper in Abuja.
