Two Nigerian military personnel have been taken into custody for stealing and damaging armored wires from the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.

Located in Lagos State's Ibeju-Lekki neighborhood, the Dangote Group's Dangote Refinery was inaugurated on May 22, 2023.

It is anticipated to be the world's largest single-train refinery when fully operational, with a daily processing capacity of roughly 650,000 barrels of crude oil. Over $19 billion is invested in this venture.

A military signal report states that last Sunday, the soldiers were apprehended after they were discovered leaving the site with 897 armored cables that had been cut to the proper length.

The signal read, “On 14/04/2024 at about 1420hrs, two military personnel named CPL Innocent Joseph and L/CPL Jacob Gani, who were identified to be working with DFL/Refinery came into the facility with one Acura jeep with registration number LAGOS JJJ 594 HS.

“On the process of exiting the DFL main gate during the routine search, they were caught with eight hundred and ninety seven cut to sizes armour cable.
