Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), owned by Chief Government Ekpemukpolo a.k.a , has achieved another feat with the arrest of MT Habour Spirit (No. 8226272).

Mayor of Urhoboland, Eshanakpe Israel a.k.a Akpodoro noted this did not come by surprise owing to the operational sophistry of the firm.

Akpodoro spoke in a statement hailing the security firm in Abuja.

He said TSSNL was prepared for the job long before the Mele Kyari-led Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited awarded him the contract.

He said the success recorded by the security firm is testament to the fact Tompolo has capacity to secure Nigerian waters.

Akpodoro called for synergy between conventional security and private firms charged with security of oil facilities in the Western axis.

He noted since taking the war against oil theft, TSSNL has demonstrated loyalty, patriotism and commitment.

It is no news, he said, that TSSNL has saved the nation from oil thieves in its resolve to ensure petroleum product is not stolen by criminal elements who thrive on economic sabotage of the nation.

The progress by TSSNL in the creeks, the mayor noted, could be more if the Federal Government increased its contract sum and enlarge TSSNL’s operational areas.

Akpodoro seeks collaboration with TSSNL to further tighten the noose around oil thieves, noting until that is done, dealers of stolen products, including foreign collaborators,” won’t cease to make attempt on our oil wealth.

Governments of Niger Delta states, Akpodoro said should lend their weight behind the operations of the Tantita to not only encourage the firm but also to render their support to what he described as the ongoing war against sophiscated oil thieves and their local accomplices particularly those in the corridors of power.

He called on the security agencies to rally round TSNNL for more progress to be made. “Rather than envy a man on such magnitude and delicate national assignment, the nation’s security apparatus should close ranks with his firm to win the war against the enemies of the nation who are fighting hard daily to undermine the growth and development of our national good.”

The MT Habour Spirit that is reportedly anchored in Okporoza community, Akpodoro advised that such should be emptied, the content properly disposed off and the vessel be set on fire to serve as deterrent to others who may wish to wheel and deal dangerously in stolen petroleum products.

He called on NNPCL’s Kyari to consider removing all the vestiges of liabilities on the way of TSSNL by withdrawing the sub contracts of the pipeline security surveillance awarded a man he described as undeserving spent force politician who know next to nothing in the security of oil facilities without adding value to the war on oil rogues.

TSSNL he said, has proven beyond doubts to be reliable, dependable and a firm that prides itself above petty stealing this he noted is due to the persons and characters the company decided to engage and its community based operational model coupled with its superlative intelligence team whose information never fails.

The FG should as matter of urgency upwardly review the contract sum for the TSSNL to increase the number of his productive workforce in its sterling performance by taking the war to the doorstep of oil thieves.

NAF helicopter lands on Benue farmland after anti-kidnap mission

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has confirmed that one of its helicopters made a precautionary landing in Benue State after providing close air support to ground troops during an operation against suspected kidnappers.   The helicopter landed on farmland in the Utur Tse-Igboji community of Makurdi, according to eyewitnesses. NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Ehimen Ejodame, said the operation targeted suspected kidnappers in Ogbadigbo Local Government Area, near the Enugu-Benue boundary. According to Ejodame, the operation disrupted the activities of the criminal elements and supported the advance of ground troops. He said the pilot later exercised his professional discretion to make a precautionary landing about 10 nautical miles from the airfield while returning to base. “This is in accordance with established operational and safety procedures following combat missions,” Ejodame said. The NAF said the helicopter has since returned to base. The incident comes two days after a NAF aircraft crashed in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State. The ATR-42 aircraft, with tail number NGR 931, was carrying 25 passengers and seven crew members when it plunged into a swamp opposite a naval base in the early hours of Monday. The NAF said no survivors had been found following the crash, which prompted President Bola Tinubu to declare three days of national mourning for the personnel who died.
