The arrests took place last week and the suspects are to be handed over to an anti-graft agency, EFCC for prosecution
Since last November, JTF has destroyed more than 1,000 illegal "refineries" in Gokana, in the southeast of the oil-rich Rivers State, some located in people's homes.
He said the refineries use crude technologies that did not meet industrial standards, sold to members of the public, these refined petroleum products can cause potentially dangerous car engine malfunctions
Gokana is part of Ogoniland, a local community that campaigns against the damaging effects of foreign oil exploration and exploitation on the local eco-system.
