Joint Military, Tantita Security Operatives Impound Crude Oil Vessel In Delta

In a recent development regarding the seizure of a vessel suspected of illegal activities, the suspects involved have reportedly been cooperating with authorities during the investigations. This cooperation has prompted authorities to consider leniency towards the suspects in their legal proceedings.

According to a military spokesperson, the investigation into the matter is still ongoing, and they intend to wait for its conclusion before determining the next course of action regarding the suspects. The spokesperson emphasized the need to thoroughly examine all evidence and gather additional information before making any definitive decisions.

During interviews with the media, the captain of the seized vessel, identified as Odubiyi Samson, claimed to be unaware of the operation. He stated that he joined the company only last year and that this voyage was his first assignment as a captain. Expressing his innocence, Samson asserted that he had no knowledge of the mission of the person who had hired the vessel and that he was simply fulfilling his duties as instructed.

While the suspects’ cooperation has been acknowledged and is being taken into account, authorities maintain that a comprehensive investigation is necessary to establish the complete facts surrounding the case. The military and other relevant agencies are committed to ensuring a thorough and unbiased inquiry to uncover any potential illegal activities or individuals involved.

As the investigation progresses, the authorities will closely monitor the evidence and information gathered to determine the appropriate legal actions to be taken. The cooperation of the suspects will likely be a significant factor in shaping the outcome of the case, but the final decision will depend on the conclusions reached by the ongoing investigation.
