The resolution was reached yesterday following a motion moved on the floor of the House by Thomas Ereyitomi representing Warri Federal Constituency.
Moving the motion, Ereyitomi condemned the burning of the MT TURA II vessel, noting that it could further damage the environment.
He explained that the vessel had one hundred and fifty thousand metric tonnes of stolen crude oil at the time of arrest.
The House resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the content of the vessel.
The House urged security agencies of the Federal Government to desist from further setting ablaze vessels laden with stolen crude oil and mandated the Committee on Environment (when constituted) to ensure compliance.
