This is contained in a statement by DSC Daniel Aidamenbor, spokesperson for the command and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Akure.
Aidamenbor explained that the illegal crude oil reservoir was uncovered during a joint operation with the Nigeria Army and TANTITA Security Service.
He added that the reservoir was hidden in a forest in Obe-Akingboye, in the Ilaje Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, the discovery was made on Sunday at about 14:12pm., with no arrest made as the suspects already fled the scene of crime.
