The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the operations of the Armed Forces of Nigeria across the country in Abuja.
Buba said the troops had sustained momentum against crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region.
He said the troops discovered and destroyed fifty four dugout pits, sixty six boats, one hundred and thirty eight storage tanks, two hundred and fifty three cooking ovens, two pumping machines, eight speedboats, seventeen hoses, eighteen drums, and two cylinders.
In the Southeast, Buba said the troops of Operation Udo Ka conducted a snap operation and arrested suspected IPOB/ESN members in Ikwo and Okigwe local government areas of Ebonyi and Imo states during the week.
The defence spokesman said the military had uncovered and neutralised some of the criminals’ havens across various theatres of operation, including national parks, game reserves, and forests.
