A four kilometer Secret  Oil Pipeline
located at Forcados Terminal  
 used to operate illegal bunkering of
Nigerian crude oil  since 20003 has been uncovered and  exposed.  

This information was  disclosed and made known to the general public by
the Oil Spill Victims Vanguard,  (OSPIVV) a non governmental Organization incorporated with the Corporate Affrairs Commission ( CAC) as an initiative with one main objective dedicated to the fight for transparency 
and accountability in the extractive industries of  Nigeria.

Prince Harrison Jalla, the Executive Director (OSPIVV) who briefed the media on the economically devastating  issue yesterday  ,14th October 2022 at Sylva Link Hotel opposite the old airport in Warri Delta State asserted  that this illegal  pipeline  is attached to the facilities of SHELL Group and NNPCL hence the two corporate bodies should be held culpable  to account  for the Oil theft that has been going on unfettered  in the just discovered four kilometer stretch illegal bunkering activities
pipeline.

Prince Harrison Jalla averred  during the interactive session that OSPIVV on behalf of the people and communities
 in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria will 
remain committed and dedicated to the
war against oil theft no matter whose ox is gored.

According to  Jalla, the OSPIVV  Executive Director , no stone will be left unturned
in their effort or bid to recover all funds associated  with the illegal four kilometer  secret crude oil Pipeline 
criminally  dedicated  to  stealing Nigeria crude since 2003.


The firstline anticorruption advocacy
 group mouth piece   who  stressed that this massive stealing of the  nation's mainstay or  national resources  must not go unpunished ,disclosed  that  OSPIVV in line with her core  mandate as a legally registered body  to check economic sabotage and  racketeerism
  have  already  briefed  external solicitors  to immediately file an action against the SHELL Group and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited ( NNPCL) so that they can tell the court what they have been using the proceeds from this illegal bunkering activities for since 2003.

Mr. Hossana Jalogho Williams a consultant in environmental law who spoke professionally on the environmental consequences of the
 illegal bunkering activities said : " One salient aspect we must look into is the fact that no one can steal Oil without spillage ."

Hossana Jalogho  the environmental expert lamented that in the next fifteen to twenty years people from the Niger Delta region where these actrocities are being committed will begin to experience  different types of illness 
associated with the pollution caused by
Shell Petroleum Development Company SPDC and NNPCL. 

Hon Oyoziwa Johnson, Member  of the National Assembly and Pastor Aloy  Okerieke   who also spoke in full support
of the OSPIVV position explained that 
these naferous activities of siphoning
crude oil has adversely affected the businesses and means of livelihood 
of the people in the area who  are mostly fishermen and farmers.

The duo of Hon Oyoziwa Johnson and Pastor Aloy Okerieke reiterated that apart from  looking at the value of the Oil that was stolen since 2003 till date,
the ecological demage to the environment is indeed so devastating that the offence can not be treated with kidgloves.
They recalled that from 1970 -- 1980
those living in the Niger Delta can attest to it that our  water bodies where not poluted like the way they are today all just because of polution mostly occasioned by the activities of  illegal bunkering.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
