16 year old teen arrested for operating illegal refinery in kogi Nigeria.

The Kogi police has arrested a 16-year-old teenager and his gang for operating an illegal refinery in Ebiya, Ajaokuta LGA of Kogi state.

The teenager, Simon Chokodi, a native of Edo state, was arrested in company of three others- Sumaila Sadu, 23, Yusufu Braimoh, 21, Raji Muhammed Jamiu, 24, and Simon Chokodi, 16 (the teenager).

The teenager said he was formerly a bus conductor before being lured into the ‘illegal’ oil business.

Following their capture by men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), the PRO in the state command, Mr. Tijani Babangida has addressed newsmen saying the culprits had been declared wanted and on the run for nearly three months.

An initial ‘refinery’ of theirs had been set ablaze upon its discovery a while back, but the team rebuilt and continued the illegal refining and distribution of the product until they were recently nabbed.
