IYC lauds Tantita Security for oil theft reduction in Niger Delta

Killing company’s personnel threat to Nigeria’s oil production, economy, Adeyanju laments
The umbrella body of Ijaw youth worldwide, the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), has reaffirmed commitment to the unity and development of the Ijaw nation, Niger Delta, and Nigeria at large, despite the petty machinations of those who seek to divide them.

The IYC made this commitment during a press briefing yesterday to commemorate the first anniversary of Dr. Dennis Otuaro’s leadership at the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and the sterling groundbreaking records of the Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL).

In a statement made available to reporters in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, the national spokesman for the IYC, Amb. Binebai Yerin Princewill said: “In the face of baseless accusations and malicious attempts to tarnish the reputations of their esteemed leaders, they stood united and resolute.”

The statement reads: “Our leaders, Dr Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), Chairman of TSSNL, Dr Dennis Otuaro, Administrator of PAP, Mathew Tonlagha, Vice Chairman of TSSNL and  Kestin Pondi, Managing Director (MD) of TSSNL, have demonstrated unwavering dedication to the Ijaw cause, the Niger Delta struggle for liberation, and the sustainability of peace in Nigeria.

“Their tireless efforts have propelled our nation forward, paving the way for a brighter future.”

The statement added that it was evident that since President Bola Tinubu engaged the services of Tantita Security Services, the best private security firm in Nigeria and beyond, illegal oil theft has gradually become a thing of the past. 

MEANWHILE, a human rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has raised the alarm over the killings of personnel and officers of Tantita Security Services.
  
Adeyanju, who reacted to the development yesterday in Abuja, noted that the heinous acts not only threaten the lives of those bravely working to protect the country’s resources but also undermine the efforts to stabilise Nigeria’s oil production and economy.
  
He called on all security agencies to take immediate and decisive action not only against those who are perpetrating the brutal acts but also against their sponsors.
