Crude oil theft, petrol-piracy and illegal trade in fuel : an enterprise-value chain perspective of energy-maritime crime in the Gulf of Guinea
The Gulf of Guinea (GoG) has developed into a global energy-maritime crime hotspot, with Nigeria being the epicentre of illegal oil-related maritime activities in the region. For several decades, scholars have sought to justify crude oil theft, petro-piracy and illegal fuel trade especially in the …
