Nigeria’s national oil company, NNPC Ltd., has reported 24 incidents of pipeline theft occurring between 2025 and 2026. These thefts demonstrate a continued vulnerability within the nation’s crucial energy infrastructure. The incidents occurred across the NNPC’s pipeline network, disrupting operations and potentially impacting oil production. While the report doesn’t detail the volume of oil lost or the financial impact, it underscores the persistent challenge of pipeline vandalism in Nigeria. This ongoing issue poses a significant threat to the country’s revenue and energy security. Authorities are likely to face continued pressure to enhance security measures and combat illicit activities targeting oil pipelines. Further details can be found in a report by Punch NG.
