Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari has blamed Nigerians for conspiring with oil vandals in allowing the business of oil vandalism thrive.
He made this statement as a guest on the Good Morning Nigeria programme, live on NTA News this morning.
Describing the history of vandalism, he said, "activities of pipeline vandalism began as acts of sabotage. Now they have graduated into full-blown business. This is most unfortunate."
"These acts of vandalism happen to our products pipelines across the country, which is why many of the pipelines are shut down today."

"What we saw in Lagos a few days ago on our System 2B (Atlas Cove all the way to Mosimi) Pipeline was an indication that these unpatriotic acts happen in the midst of communities. Almost everybody around that community is aware of what is happening!" pic.twitter.com/OlhbOzXekf
GMD @MKKyari on @NTAGMN: "We are collaborating with security agencies to curtail the situation. Of recent, the vandals have become so sophisticated as they fight back, until the recent intervention from the Chief of Defence Staff & his team we are very grateful to him for that." pic.twitter.com/oVuARFj7vb
