‘Big players’ in oil theft live outside Niger Delta — Sen Dickson
The former governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson (PDP-Bayelsa West) on Friday described those behind oil theft in the Niger Delta as “big players” who reside outside the region.
The senator made the allegation at Oporoza, headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta.
Dickson said although Ijaw youths were tagged to be behind oil theft, they lacked the capacity and technical know-how to understand how pipelines operate.
“Those big players behind the crude oil theft are not from the region but are based in Lagos, Abuja, and other parts of the world,” he said.
