Tantita Security Alleges Sabotage In Fight Against Crude Oil Theft

Chief Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, Chairman of   Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), has alleged sabotage in the fight against crude  oil theft in the country.

Ekpemupolo stated this  when he  played host to the national leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association ( NBA),  on Tuesday in Oporoza, headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta.

The national leadership  of the NBA was led on the visit by its President, Afam Osigwe (SAN).

He alleged that recently some persons attacked some of his staff while they  were arresting oil thieves on the Port-Harcourt creeks.

Tompolo appealed to the NBA to rise to the situation and save the country from its current economic crisis.

He said  that government may not have enough funds to run her institutions, hence the need for all hands to be on deck.

“The NBA has a duty to play in this present situation because if we are not careful in this country, we will not have money to do any reasonable thing.

“We are going to do our part locally, but you are there at the top. If we arrest today, lawyers will appear on both sides. My appeal is that you need to help us,” he said.

Tompolo said that he had stepped on many toes in the cause of the ongoing onslaught against crude oil theft, adding that he has become a target of revenge.

“In the course of this surveillance, we have stepped on so many   toes of people over there in Lagos and Abuja.

“After my court cases, I cannot travel anywhere, if I must travel, I have to go with two or three security personnel,”he said

The leadership  of the NBA had earlier  visited the Pere of Gbaramatu kingdom, Oboro-Gbaraun II, Aketekpe, Agadagba in his  palace.

Earlier,  Osigwe  expressed joy over the recent announcement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that oil production had risen to 1.8 million barrels per day.

He said that  Gbaramatu Kingdom plays host to TSSNL which has been working with the NNPCL and the Office of the National Security Adviser.

“If the oil production keeps going up, it will benefit all of us and government will be able to provide for the needs of the people

“However, there is a need to stem the theft of our commonwealth from some individuals.

“The fight against oil theft is more desirable now more than ever before, because Nigeria is borrowing so much to fund its budget,” he said.

Osigwe said that the essence of the visit was to assess the  oil-producing community, and ascertain the level of hardship faced by the residents.

“First to get first-hand knowledge of how this battle has been fought and what the challenges and approach are.

“Tantita   has done a lot of good work on the issues of pipeline protection and oil theft. We thought that it would be a good place for us to come.

Osigwe said that NBA was interested in the issues of oil theft coupled with the effects of environmental pollution and degradation resulting from oil exploration.

According to him,  the communities that bear the pains of the nation’s oil wealth do not enjoy the wealth compared to others get.

Responding, the Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom,  Oboro-Gbaraun II, Aketekpe, Agadagba called on the Federal  Government to provide  infrastructure in the oil-producing communities.

“Presently, government is far from us. It should come closer to us and do the needful for us to reciprocate,”he said.

The traditional ruler specifically called for the establishment of a Magistrate Court in Gbaramatu kingdom.

He said that Gbaramatu stood for peace and will continue to stand for peace in the Niger Delta region.
