Lagos Court Jails Four Oil Thieves, Orders Forfeiture Of Vessel to FG

This image shows four persons who were convicted by a federal high in Lagos for oil theft on November 27, 2020.A federal high court in Lagos has jailed four persons for oil theft and ordered the seizure of a vessel involved in the crime, a statement from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said on Friday.

The convicts, Ukwuoma Ahamefula, Omeogor Nelson, Efemuaya Evans, and Jude Eghreriniovo, were arrested sometime in December 2019 onboard a vessel, MV Tim Begele, by the Nigerian Navy and subsequently handed over to the EFCC for further investigation and prosecution, the statement said.

One of the counts reads: “That you, MV Tim Begele, Ukwuoma Ahamefula, Omeogor Nelson, Efemuaya Evans, Jude Eghreriniovo and others now at large on the 3rd of December, 2019, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, conspired among yourselves to commit an offence to wit: dealing in 3,911 metric tons of petroleum products without appropriate licence; and you, thereby, committed an offence contrary to Section 3 of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria...

Justice A.M. Liman, in a short ruling, ordered that the terms of imprisonment of the convicts would run retrospectively from the date of the arrest to November 25, 2020. The Judge also ordered the vessel and the product aboard to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
