*Nigerian Navy Accused of Complicity in Oil Theft: A Call for Investigation*



A recent allegation has surfaced, accusing the Nigerian Navy of involvement in crude oil theft, specifically in the release of the vessel MT Lady Matilda, which was impounded by Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) for crude oil theft. The Ohaneze Stakeholders Assembly (OSA) has petitioned the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS) to investigate this matter.

The OSA has expressed concerns that the Nigerian Navy's actions may be embarrassing to the leadership of Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They have also commended the DSS's efforts in combating insecurity and criminality in Nigeria.

The allegations against the Nigerian Navy are serious, and an investigation is necessary to unravel the truth. The OSA has requested that the DSS identify the top echelons who gave orders for the release of the bunkering vessel and those who carried out the operation.

It is essential to note that the Nigerian Navy has been accused of frustrating the efforts of private security companies, such as Tantita Security Services Limited, which have been engaged by the Federal Government to provide surveillance and protection for the nation's oil assets.

The OSA's petition has brought to the fore the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations against the Nigerian Navy. The DSS's intervention is crucial in unraveling the mystery of crude oil theft and bringing perpetrators to justice.

As the nation waits with bated breath, it is essential that the DSS conducts a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations against the Nigerian Navy. The success of this operation will not only bring perpetrators to justice but also help to restore confidence in the nation's security agencies.
