• Tantita donates building to Isoko youths
The Ovie of the Idjerhe Kingdom and Chairman of the Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil and Gas (HOSCON) Traditional Rulers and Elders Advisory Council, His Royal Majesty, King Obukowho Monday Whiskey, Udurhie I, has raised the alarm over an alleged conspiracy to discredit and destabilise key players in the Niger Delta security and development framework.
In a statement issued yesterday, and made available to newsmen in Asaba, Delta State, the revered monarch claimed that a group of “enemies of Nigeria” have launched a coordinated media campaign against Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, and Dr Dennis Otuaro, the current Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).
According to King Whiskey, the ongoing attacks are part of a deliberate plot to disrupt the operations of Tantita Security Services Limited—a company contracted by the Federal Government to combat pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region.
“The calculated media campaign against Tompolo and company is nothing but a blackmail strategy to disorganise the operations of the security company so that they can return to their evil businesses of crude theft and pipeline vandalism,” the monarch stated.
He further alleged that the same forces are targeting Otuaro due to his reforms in the Amnesty Programme, which, he said, are “visible and transformative”.
MEANWHILE, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has commissioned the Isoko Youth House at Ozoro, Delta State, in fulfilment of its youth empowerment pledge in the Niger Delta.
The secretariat was named after Fred Obe for his contribution to the region’s struggle.The facility, valued at over N200 million, is equipped with modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, designed to serve as a centre for innovation, skills acquisition, and community development.
The President of Isoko National Assembly (INYA), EniwakeOrogun, said the secretariat is a symbol of their collective aspiration, resilience, and unity as a people.
He recalled how the Isoko youth movement began in 1998 under Fred Obe, whose bold leadership led to infrastructural improvements in neglected communities and a louder voice for Isoko youths in regional matters.
