Operatives of the private security firm, Tanita Security Services, successfully intercepted a vessel suspected of carrying stolen crude oil in the Koko area of Delta State.
The vessel, named MT Praisel, was flying a Togolese flag and being escorted by a Navy boat under the command of a senior Naval Commander.
The vessel, known as MT Praisel, was carrying approximately 8,100 barrels of crude, weighing 1,117 tons.
However, despite the threats, the private security firm did not back down from their mission to intercept the vessel.
This raised further suspicions about the legitimacy of the vessel’s cargo and the potential involvement of illicit activities.
