Port Harcourt -The Joint Military Taskforce says it has seized a barge allegedly carrying an unspecified quantity of crude oil in the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n

The Spokesman for the taskforce, Lt. Col. Timothy Antigha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt,yesterday that the task force confiscated the barge on March 1 at Andoni in Rivers.<\/p>\n

He said the quantity of the crude in the barge had not been determined by experts.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018\u2019 On March 1, our personnel confiscated the barge loaded with a sizeable quantity of crude oil. From investigation, the barge had been loaded and ready to go to the high sea to offload the crude.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019 The barge is 50 metres in length, 12 metres in width and 3 metres in dept. It is quite a big barge.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019 We also believe that the crude oil in the barge is a stolen one,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Antigha said the taskforce had destroyed wooden boats used by the bunkerers to transport the crude.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019 We seized materials like out-board engines, hoses and other implements used to cut pipelines to steal the crude.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019 We want to assure the public that we are determined to check activities of persons who sabotage the nation\u2019s economy and will always keep them informed on our activities.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
