FORMER leader of the Niger Delta militant group and founder of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has appealed to all Nigerians to guard against greedy saboteurs of the nation’s oil and gas sector.
Trojan News reports that Tompolo spoke on Saturday at Oporoza, the seat of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South West Local Government Area, Delta State, immediately after receiving the Nigeria Union of Journalists Meritorious Award from the union’s national president, Chief Chris Isiguzo.
Our economy is in dire need of survival, so we cannot fold our hands and allow some people to sabotage the nation’s economy because of greed,” he stated.
The award was given “in recognition of Tompolo’s outstanding contributions to the security of oil and gas infrastructure by curtailing oil theft and pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta,” according to the president of NUJ.
His comment comes as Nigerians continues to protest over the lampooning cost of living occasioned by the decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove fuel subsidy.
