Gangs tap into pipelines in the creeks and swamps of the Niger Delta, siphoning off hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil a day in operations known as "bunkering".
The governor of Delta state, Emmanuel Uduaghan, told reporters after a meeting at President Goodluck Jonathan's house that the government was preparing cases for oil theft, which carries a prison sentence of 21 years.

All these gangs should brought to book. Some people were being paid heavy amount of money for surveillance of all the oil pipelines by the NNPC but the Vandals still persist. What is the cause?

Nai'ja! What can we do to stop this canker worm in our society? To me, they may believe is only way get their own share from oil through all kind of atrocities.
