The Chairman, Bayelsa State Traditional Rulers Council, and Ibenanaowei of Ekpetiama Kingdom, King Bubaraye Dakolo, Agada IV, on Tuesday said it is an insult for the Federal Government to neglect the official security agencies and hire private security outfits to secure oil installations and apprehend oil thieves.

The monarch who authored a book ‘The Riddle of the Oil Thief’ was reacting to the contract awarded by the Federal Government to Tantita Security Services Limited, the pipeline surveillance security outfit owned by the former militant leader, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo a.k.a. Tompolo.

Speaking on Arise TV, he said hiring the likes of Tompolo to secure oil installations while the Navy and other security agencies are neglected is an aberration which shows how low Nigeria has become.

Dakolo who said oil thieves can end in two weeks if the President is serious about it also said Nigerian security agencies can end oil theft and secure our installations if the president gives them the marching order to do so.

To do this, the security agencies should be trained and well funded and equipped to carry out their task.

He said "For me, it underscores how low the Nigerian state has descended where it seems to have lost faith in our law enforcements to the level where you want private, perhaps not so well trained hands to help to do the job. It is so because our economy is in tatters. There is no job for people so everyone wants to look at how to make a living out of everything and you want to engage them in that manner".

"First and foremost, if the government of Nigeria were able to get the economy of Nigeria working to the point where it was a dollar to a naira, I can tell you that people will not want to go and vandalise oil installations. If the Nigerian economy becomes robust, I can tell you that most people will not want to get interested in what they are being contracted to do today".

"What the Nigerian state ought to do is to equip the Navy, give them more funds, equip law enforcements and give them more trainings to be professional. Bringing in hands that are not trained to come and do a job meant for the Navy is an insult to the Nigerian state and insult to the Navy. I think Nigerian state will benefit more if they pump in more resources to the Navy and give them the marching order to deal with the oil thieves".
"Right now, what we are seeing is an aberration that shouldn’t be seen or told. The private contractors should have been faceless. The best they could have done is to give intelligence to the official law enforcements like the Navy or JTF".

Nonsense


Private security guard are effective in terrain not known to military

Everybody is just fighting for their own selfish interest even the common man. I just pity those who think 9ja go better any time soon.

Begin with trying all Boko Haram killers and sending them to death killing squads first. Let's begin this discussions here.

Under Buhari over 65,000 people died and we are yet to see successful trial For any of these deaths. If we begin the discussions here, we can begin to progress to other ones. It's a shame that regardless of all the financial intelligence offices we have, no one has been able to track Boko Haram sponsors and prosecute them. From NFIU, to EFCC why can't we have the sponsors of killers tracked ?


Evans killed and abducted a few the state forces were summoned, Fulani and Buharis kin unleashed mayhem on the country and they are allowed to go scot-free. Meanwhile we have graduates, innocent people, people who's cases are awaiting trials for years suffering in prisons and someone wants to begin to talk about the perceived low image of Nigerians


Let's begin with the number of cases of people awaiting trials in prisons, Boko Haram killers, the electioneering processes scrutiny and then we can talk about Nigeria. We're talking about release of Kyari for good conducts. Can Southerners who push cocaine be released before 20-30 years in jail.


Meanwhile, Mahmodu should be tried and arrested.


You guys are all jokers. Northeners are duping you guys. Nigeria has failed as a state and topic about the perceived poor image of Nigeria should not even be discussed

All because dem no give am to Joshua MacIver group or general ogunboss group.

Asari Dokubo will soon be given his own.
We have very useless criminal characters in Aso Rock

Mumu. There are private securities everywhere on earth. USA used blackwater to fight war in Iraq and Afghanistan, UK used m16, Russia is using Wagner in Ukraine and Syria.. they're all private armies. There are even private prisons overseas. So, stop this nonsense. Nigeria isn't a socialist or communist state, there are opportunities for private businesses, ownership.

Shut up!

There are terrains in Nigeria that our national military force do not know? Train them to its knowledge.

You can use auxiliary force to go destroy other lands, you do not hire them to protect your own security.

What if Bokoharam wants contract to secure NE?

What if Fulani bandits wants contract to secure NW. If Ipob wants contract to secure SE?

Where do you go from here, with that many arsenal in regional hands?

Then recruit people from those terrain into the military. Honestly how do you explain that the same Tompolo that Buhari declared wanted in 2015 for criminal activities is the same man he went to beg to secure our oil facilities?

Private security are for special tasks

Ah, now it makes sense. You are from the creeks. No wonder. I am not surprised at your defficiency in strategic security. You are only known to militancy. Force, force, force...zero consideration for an evolved society.

A very big insult.

Go and read about Military Private Contractors and how almighty Pentagon of United States heavily depends on them

When you want plausible deniability you contract security

Even Jonathan did it in 2015 with private security from SouthAfrica

Ukraine and Russia are doing it

Plausible deniability.... You can't use your military to fight unconventional war without getting International sanction

You are calling others mumu, for what? You do not even understand the examples you gave. All your examples are about fighting in a foreign land. If your military doesn't know the terrain of it's own country then it is a monumental disgrace.

I agree. A military that doesn't understand terrain of a country is a disgrace

Whose Navy? Nigeria naval personal that can't even walk in stream. Nigeria Navy is full of personal that can't even swim for five good consecutive munite not to talk of attack in the sea and large water body. An average Nigerian is very intelligent but we don't want to do things in the way it should be. Average Ijaw man is born navy but home many are in the Nigeria navy?

There are locals who knows the terrain well that have been working with the Nigerian army in Borno state. Army and civilian joint task force who are locals do work and fight boko Haram together.

Do not underestimate the Nigerian navy, is the best in west and central africa

Why must or should the president give the marching orders?

We have talked severally on having strong and independent institutions. We have talked of funding for all institutions. Politicians prefer to have contacts or all the security officers and keep control all their actions.

Does any president have give an instruction, before the man who is pad to do the job?

All security institutions become completely independent and well funded. Eliminate corruption and people can sleep with their eyes closed.

Is like saying smuggling of drugs will end in Mexico in two weeks if the mexican govt is serious ....Tompolo is the best man to handle oil theft on high sea.
