He noted that the nefarious activities of pipeline vandals had caused Nigeria to lose approximately 700,000 barrels of oil daily; a trend which investment in technology will help curb.
Mohammed, according to a statement on Friday by the Special Assistant to the President , Segun Adeyemi, made the remarks at a press briefing in Abuja after the aerial surveillance of the Trans-Forcados oil pipeline, Rivers State. “The investment in technology has become critical because the nefarious activities of vandals are causing Nigeria to lose approximately 700,000 barrels of oil daily,” Mohammed said.
According to him, the continued campaign security agencies has led to the “arrest of 210 suspects and confiscation of 20.2 million litres of AGO, 461.8 thousand litres of PMS, 843.6 thousand litres of DPK, and 383.5 thousand barrels of crude oil.”
From 400,000 straight to 700,000 barrels per day.. this APC na baba nla scam...
Who is in charge sir ?
I dont think reasonably person would listen to your words again all we are waiting for is this regime to end in grace
To who and who? Why are you guys doing up there? What are you doing up there? Are you not ashamed it’s happening under your watch and you’re still saying it.
Look at the manner of human beings ruling Nigeria?
To big oil thieves in and out of govt Nigeria well done. Restructuring should be allowed states should manage resources that would stop of oil and mineral theft.
This old man is one of big Criminals in Nigeria I don’t know what he’s still doing in government officials
The same way Nigeria is losing territories to bandits and Boko Haram. Clowns!
You guys I'm government stole them....
Into whose hands?
Nonsense men
Losing or loosing ? To whom, how,when,...to ghost thieves perhaps
Better say Nigeria is losing 36,774,500,000 a day. 79$ per barrel. The question is, what is your government doing in almost 8yrs of this loss?
Who have power to prevent and stop these? Isn't it the govt? Youths, get it right this time. These old men who have been in power since their late 20s are fagged out have no head to carry out load anymore. Please, let vote to send them 2 where they belong - retirement home!!!
So make wetin happen? Can you please also talk about the lives loss in Nigerian everyday due to insecurity and hardship?
What exactly is the problem of this incompetents government. From bottle to bottles
Lying Lai-ing Moh'd where have you been? 😂😂
I find it inexcusable for Lai Mohammed to open his mouth to say Nigeria is losing 700k barrels of crude daily. Someone should please tell me if this government has totally lost it because the last time I heard, oil production in the country is not in the hands of individuals.
To NNPC Kleftocrats!
Wait so in a month we are loosing over $1bn to crude oil theft One year over $12bn 7years of APC approximately over $50bn Guess what Nobody is in jail or facing trial. The country is broke and the minister for petroleum is the “oga at the top” 😂😂😂 This country get as e be 🚶🏼♂️
They don't need to tell us this inside to find solution.
Now multiply this by $75 per barrel, then you would know that kind of money is not just gotten by one person and can’t move without “people at the top” knowing. Like femi falana said “it is an organized crime”
Into Apc politicians personal accounts
Incompetent Buhari lead Government always lamenting.
A MUST WATCH
These problem is from the root and not the from the top. Ifb ASAP
Is there any Govt. at the Federal level in this country ? There is rudderlessness in virtually every sector as if no one is in charge. There is endless lamentation on crude oil theft. Yet, no thief has been arrested or prosecuted for economic sabotage.The economy is in shambles!
Irolabi of naija
Clap for yourself. Mistake of a government
This crude oil criminality, would not stop because those involved in it are the cabals and leaders. So divide the country now, is not working.
700,000bbl x $90/bbl =$ 63,000,000 per day. These guys are wrecking the country
Ejoooooor😉
Point of correction, those in power are stealing our crude oil to enrich themselves,say the truth mr minister.
We know
Una end is nigh😩😂
ITs due to lack of patriotism and negative news indoctrination of Nigerians to hate the nation
Out of how many? I think the Security Agencies are PDP?
When peter obi said it,BAT and TAMITES tackled him.thank God now is coming from there mouth directly.peter Obi said also is an organized crime.
They stop this announcement and go ahead and arrest the criminal gangs doing this. They know them and where they are. Ordinary Nigerians are not the ones stealing the crude. So let them go after them.
Una go still tief am, come settle journalists to report 🙄
And ur government has been unable to stop it, it's a shame the kinda country we find ourselves.
...as a govt., What measures are you putting in place to forestall & check that?
Legacy of a government that just can’t govern!
Tó APC thieves abi?
You're The FG, you've the powers and structures, you've the security structures and apparatus. Why the complain? What do you want?
Fake news from lia Muhammed
Stop telling us lies,you know the people behind the theft
How? Then ask petroleum minister
Shameless leaders. Robber comes to ur house every day to steal ur pot of soup, u will still open ur mouth nd say it. Oga put otapiapia na. Shameless leaders. Ur doom is near.peterobi
Baba, don't tell us what you people are doing. We know already.
Please Buhari fire yourself
Lol
This man is a real definition of failure.
Pepper seller on the street can not seal crude oil, maybe we should ask the big men
So what are you doing as a government to fix this problem?
Liars
FG isn’t losing anything. FG is the same person siphoning it!
Bloody thieves!
Shame on you for saying this. Your boss is a retired general in army and a minister for petroleum. He is a collective mistake by those who voted him.
Thanks to the minister of petroleum MBuhari . Empire rise and fall .
Are you not ashamed your government can’t account for them Mr Lie Mohammed
Useless sets of people,do something about it and stop signing it to our ear 👂 everyday.
Shameless regime. How can an incumbent govt that should block the leakage do nothing but complain.
If Nigeria loses 700,000 barrel per day out of 1 000 000, how many barrel remain for NNPC to sell? Oil companies will shut down immediately, but they are using pipe vandalism as cover up to sell the crude oil without proper account & continue to enrich themselves.
Were dem carry am pass wey no one see am
Now you are putting technology in place to combat the theft. No technology flourish without a proper prerequisite, simply put, a good administration and that what we don’t have.
It is better imagined what LAI Mohammed would have been spewing had this Monumental Stealing of our Patrimony was happening under GEJ. Remember Buhari is the Petroleum Minister
We know, Peter Obi told us and you guys are responsible for that.
God will never forgive all of you
Mumu and who is managing Nigeria now abi you still wan blame OfficialPDPNig Again? This OfficialAPCNg made excuses for 8 years in office achieving virtually nothing
It is not only very annoying, but also frustrating for Nigerian government officials to be giving this kind of information to their citizens. Who is stealing the crude oil? the government must stop pretending not to know who the thieves are.
Is this not Lia Mohammed Asin lianus of all liers
So what do you want us to do?
You don't even have the right figure Mr Information, I'm sure you are giving us what your principal told you to tell us. Go and Sleep Lai..Lai We know those stealing our oil.
So what has the govt done to stop it so far?
Nigeria losing 700,000 crude barrels daily to corrupt FG officials such as Minister of petroleum 🤔 🏃🏃
That’s is how many schools,how many hospitals,how many km of good road,the salary of how many efficient lecturers?etc if Africa was organized will our resources be taken for free?so chaos is the currency of the Big man.
Laid laid lais
who is Nigeria minister for petroleum?
What have you done to stop it when dss is busy doing nothing
Mumu man.... You are here telling us, what exactly do you want us to do? Join you visionless bastards and keep wailing? Are you people not supposed to come up with ideas to crush the thieves? Mtcheeew, clowns with power
That crude oil is being stolen is old news to Nigerians. What successive govts have failed to do, is tell us who the thieves are & the measure in place, long term, to prevent it from re-occurring. Those in govt know who the thieves are, but will not do anything to stop them. 🧐
HOW NOW🙆🏾♂️
Lie MHD
717000 actually.....We have been reliably informed by our principal and the next president of Nigeria Peter Obi.
And the whole apparatus of Nigeria state cannot stop it?
Is this figure estimated? Or confirmed?.
Ha Last week 400,000 this week 700,000 by next week it will be 1,000,000 barrels per day, this man fear God, judgement is near
And someone is seating somewhere praising himself to have done well! Was even asking for debt forgiveness. What a bunch of unserious old people!!!
An organize stealing….it pains me that you guys still come out here to give us the figures you are stealing from us.., Very useless set of people

Y'all stealing in broad daylight.
Minister of evil information. Weldon!
