Oil Thieves Will No Longer Be Condoned In The Country – NSCDC

The Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ahmed Audi has come out to advise oil thieves to leave the country asap.

He recently had his say at the Passing Out Parade of Course 10 on Monday in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can only warn those who stay in the country intending to continue with the theft that they will have his men to contend with henceforth.

Ahmed added that President Bola Tinubu has a tough stand on oil theft, so it is definitely a serious crime.

His words, “Don’t forget we are the lead agency in the protection of critical assets. We must protect and infrastructure of the nation one of which is the fuel pipelines. We know the stands of the president on oil thefts. There should be no compromise.”

“You must dedicate yourself and do your best to reduce and if possible eradicate oil theft. You must arrest oil thieves and those vandalizing our pipelines and we shall get them. We advised them those who want to continue to launch mayhem on our pipelines to relocate to other countries otherwise we will go after them and arrest all of them.”

“We now have a Standard of Operations guiding our activities in the service. You will be court-martialed. In that way discipline in the service. This service does not condone accidental discharge.”

“If you make a mistake and become trigger-happy then you kill a citizen you will face the wrath of the SOP. Please be careful when you are with your riffle. You are trained to handle a rifle and not to kill unless otherwise. This means you can only kill when you know the person wants to kill you on the battlefield.”
