BREAKING: Tompolo captures 1500 Metric Tonne Vessel loaded with Stolen Crude Oil [PICS]
Adeleye Kunle reports,
High Chief Government Ekpemukpolo alias Tompolo has recorded another huge success in securing the Nation’s pipelines from Oil Thieves.
It can be recalled that the Nigerian Government recently awarded a pipeline defense contract to the former militant leader in order to reduce the mind-boggling theft of the nation’s crude oil.
Track News Nigeria has learned that Tompolo and his men successfully intercepted a huge vessel loaded with stolen crude oil last weekend and reportedly turned down a bribe of N25 million.
Eight persons on board the vessel, MT Deinmo, with IMO number 7210525, were immediately arrested. They were caught stealing directly from Escravos Pipeline in Warri South West LGA, Delta state.
Chief Ebipade Kari, the Operational Head of Tantita Security Services Limited, who led the operation disclosed that the interception was made after they received a tip-off.
“We got a tip off that a ship was loading at the Escravos axis. The Tantita security personnel went to the place and got the ship arrested”.
“While I insisted that the crew must be taken to Oporoza in Gbaramatu Kingdom, where Tantita operational office is located. Their boss was begging me through the captain of the ship to offer me a bribe of N25m which he promised to deliver in dollars, so that I can let the ship go. But I turned down the offer.”
