According to the Director of Defence Information, Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, the military has taken over protection of oil pipelines nationwide.
This follows the recent bombings of oil facilities in the Niger Delta.
“They have taken over protection all over Nigeria. It is just modalities that need to be concluded but with this kind of thing, I believe we have enough deployment to oversee all the pipelines in the nation and we will continue to do that.”
“One person or some groups — criminal groups — cannot hold this nation to ransom. Nobody can hold this nation to ransom and will be living, no!
“All security agencies are in top gear to ensure that these people, whoever is involved, will be brought to book and whoever thinks that we cannot do it should try to continue doing it and let’s see who will pay the price at the end of the day.”
He added that the military would deploy high-tech modern security networks to protect the pipelines from attacks by vandals and saboteurs.
