Oil theft: Ohanaeze youths urge Tinubu to overhaul Naval High command

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has called for a thorough overhaul of the Naval high command.

It said the call became necessary in view of endless allegations of oil theft in the Niger Delta region despite the huge presence of naval officials.

In a statement made available to journalists on Monday by Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, said there were disturbing allegations of high calibre oil theft still ongoing in the Niger Delta region.

Okwu, who said it appeared the naval officials were sabotaging the Federal Government’s efforts to ramp up oil production, said the avowed promise by President Bola Tinubu rid the country of corruption must be demonstrated through the immediate overhaul of the naval high command.
