"Luck however ran out on the criminals when vigilant NSCDC operatives stationed at the Calabar/Itu highway decided to conduct a routine inspection of the truck after flagging it. "during the routine check, my men discovered wet sack bags, containing AGOs stored in cellophane bags. The AGOs were clandestinely covered by hundreds of packs of yogurt drinks" Fadeyi disclosed.

He further said the suspects would be charged to court after investigations, adding that the intercepted cartons of yogurt drinks would be destroyed as they have been contaminated with the adulterated diesel.

Fadeyi promised that the NSCDC will not rest on its oars in riding Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria at large of every form of pipeline vandalism, illegal bunkering and other criminal activities.
