. Crime like kpo fire, human trafficking, drug, organ harvesting, kidnapping etc
Op just a point to air-mark all what you mentioned for sure are crimes but, kpo fire or bunkering in my own opinion is not a crime, and. I'll tell you why.
The government are a major problem to the incessant increase of kpo fire camps in all the creeks of the Niger-Delta when they have failed and refused to use this resource to better the lives of the host communities and dwellers from where this resource is been extracted from. The source of livelihood of the people such as farming and fishing has been destroyed by this same resource (oil) that the government has unendingly be extracting thereby causing oil spillage to the soil and rivers if the people of the Niger-Delta while they gain nothing but wallow in abject poverty while a source of making money lies behind their backyard. What do you think would happen?
Secondly, provide a licence to these local kpo-fire /bunkering expertise that are now into this business which you the government have now tag illegal, for through the provided license and government regulating the process these guys can pull out finance together and build modular refineries that will function in an international standard and will help reduce the price of PMS, kerosene, gas etc while they pay tax to the government, but rather the government choose to sit on the reality in their own selfish interest using the media to blacklist the bunkering actors.
While in the northern part of Nigeria (Zamfara) they have gold that is been mined by the local community dwellers whereas it was supposed to be the property of the FG just as they claim the oil to be a property of the FG but nobody is saying or doing anything or attacking those mining the gold's over there. So mate, this is all politics weigh beyond us.
The government knows the right thing to do let them do it and stop labeling kpo fire actors criminals, as it will help saves lives and reduce the cost of cooking gas and PMS/kerosene. Mind you, if not for all these kpo fire's we won't have been able to have access to kerosene or even afford it.
