Obasanjo made this revelation at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta when he received the former Corp Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp, Ade Abolurin (rtd).

"Some of the things that I had to confront during my tenure as President of Nigeria were pipeline vandalism, holdup, and stealing of crude oil.

"That stealing is what they call bunkering; there is nothing like bunkering, it is outright stealing."

"We used all the available agencies and resources; and your organisation as a voluntary organisation, unpaid, unremunerated, unrecognised and not institutionalised, was doing great job without being armed and without being equipped.
