The Nigerian Navy says it has discovered 30 new illegal refineries with combined capacity to produce about four million litres of petroleum products daily.

Capt. Victor Choji, the Executive Officer of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Pathfinder, Port Harcourt, said this during the destruction of one of the illegal refineries on Thursday.

He said all the refineries were discovered in Asari Toru Local Government area of Rivers, with 40 huge metallic storage tanks .

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that some of the storage tanks were filled with petroleum products suspected to be diesel and crude oil.

Choji noted that the discovery was in continuation of the current mop-up of illegal refineries and illicit bunkering of petroleum products by crude oil thieves.

"The 30 refineries have capacity to refine between three to four million litres of diesel daily – which is quite massive," he said.

"The sizes of the illegal refineries show that the LGA is indeed the epicentre of illegal bunkering activities in the state."

Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

A witness told authorities that when he entered blood-splattered Cabin D726 — where the Manzanareses were staying — Kristy, 39, was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. "She would not stop laughing at me," Kenneth told the stunned witness, who then watched as the distraught hubby grabbed Kristy's body and tried to drag her toward the balcony. The witness got hold of the slain woman's ankles and pulled her back to the bloody cabin until cruise security arrived.   Kristy, identified only as K.M., "had a severe head wound" and Kenneth "had blood on his hands and clothing," court papers said.
