Oil theft: Harsh punishment awaits culprits, Doguwa warns

National House of Assembly, Special Committee on Crude Oil Thefts, has issued a strong warning against those involved in the dastardly acts of the nation’s oil stealing, that the era is over and anybody found to be involved in it will face the full wrath of the Law.

Reading this riot act, the Chairman of the Special Committee, Alhaji Ado Alhassan Doguwa, in a statement signed, said; “We can not in any way afford to allow our Tinubu/Apc led government continue to wallow into global borrowing as a result of consequential leakages in the production circle of the oil and gas sector.”

He, however, stated that “the unfortunate act is largely caused by youth restiveness and unacceptable vandalisation of our critical infrastructure by vandals and criminals in the creeks, and this has to stop”.

Alhasan Doguwa disclosed that the Committee was mandated by the Speaker Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, to unravel and unearth the remote and immediate causes of these devastating economic earthquake within the oil and gas sector of the Nation Economy.

“The committee vows to do all it takes to save the present Tinubu led administration from these unfortunate happenings in the oil producing areas. We will make sure the committee brings to book the culprits and their political cohorts.”

Doguwa further warned, “The attendant consequences of these dastardly crimes against the economy will obviously not allow our economy to breathe. President TINUBU’s commitment and determination to bring prosperity and economic wellbeing to our people is non-negotiable by whatever guise.”

According to him, “The legislative agenda of the 10th National Assembly as rolled out by our leaders of the Ofcourse, with the unprecedented commitment of the Rt. Hon Speaker Abbas Tajudeen will help the government deliver on its overall commitments to the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We can not in any way afford to allow our Tinubu/APC-led government continue to wallow into global borrowing as a result of consequential leakages in the production circle of the oil and gas sector. Largely caused by youth restiveness and unacceptable vandalisation of our critical infrastructure by vandals and criminals in the creeks.”
