  "summary": "The Nigerian Navy has recovered 33,800 litres of petroleum products in the Rivers State region, as part of their ongoing Operation Delta Sentinel. According to a statement by Navy Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, the troops discovered and deactivated two illegal refining sites in Ahoada West Local Government Area. The operation resulted in the seizure of 28,520 litres of illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and 5,280 litres of stolen crude oil, along with various equipment used for storage and processing. Nigerian Navy Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, has directed the military to maintain pressure on criminal networks involved in crude oil theft, in order to protect critical oil and gas infrastructure and create a more secure environment for legitimate economic activities.",
