Описание: Nigeria's War on Illegal Oil Trade | Firstpost Africa

Nigeria has launched a massive crackdown on oil theft and the illegal trade of stolen oil. In a decisive blow to the illegal trade, Nigeria's forces have recovered at least 1.2 million litres of stolen crude oil. The authorities also dismantled 56 bunkering sites and seized 88 cooking drums. At least 15 illegal refining sites were destroyed in the Bayelsa state. Nigeria has been Africa's biggest crude oil producer but has faced major setbacks due to large-scale oil theft and pipeline sabotage. This is also led to a fall in oil output and exports and crippled government finances of an already strained economy. Watch the video to know more.
