Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said that illegal oil refining has destroyed the Eco system of the country and should be treated as a treasonable offence.
Wike, stated this when the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Monday.
He said everyone including the Military and the Police are involved, else there is no way the crime would have continued.
He urged the military to put measures in place to bring an end to the menace, which he said should be taken more seriously than treason.
The Governor, urged Nigerians to continue to pray to God to touch the minds of those involved in oil bunkering to desist from the act.
He commended the military for the gains recorded in the fight against insurgency in the country.
The Chief of Air Staff, Isiaka Oladayo on his part thanked the governor for his support over the years.
