Ex-militant, Tompolo, Buys Six Warships by Zakkyoz: 7:01am On Dec 13, 2014 |
A former Niger Delta militant, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, alia Tompolo, has bought seven decommissioned Norwegian battleships, Saturday PUNCH has learnt. Reports by a Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, said that the fast-speed Hauk- class guided missile boats had been re-armed with new weaponry. The report also revealed that Ekpemupolo’s most recent purchase is a KNM Horten, a fast-attack craft now used in fighting piracy in Nigeria’s waterways . It was learnt that in spite of his alleged history of violence, Tompolo, now controls the Global West Vessel Service, a privately owned contractor for maritime security for the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency. Buying arms from Norway requires an export license from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ships were reportedly sold first to CAS Global, a British security company that has such a license, after which Ekpemupolo reportedly bought the ships from the British company. Dagblade reported that the seven Norwegian ships are now part of the company’s maritime fleet patrolling under a contract for the Federal Government. Written For http:// www.globalruns.com |

For as long as the Nigeria maritime regulate or supervise these vessels and the activities they're bought for, I don't think this should be a problem at all. But really, who is funding these guys? |

The way people construct their headlines to instigate trouble: He controls a Maritime security outfit affiliated with the country, but that wasn't used in judging his actions. |

Anyone that still have trust in Gej wt the recent happenings is on the long run. The greatest mistake of obasanjo era is picking of this man as number one citizen. I will not be suprised if unthinkable happens next year because all these weapon is towards civil war if Gej is not elected again which is almost certain. Nigeria is on the brink, we re in it together. |

The APC has made it clear that irrespective of the outcome of the 2015 elections they will form a parallel govt. Should the Niger Delta lie fallow and wait for you desperadoes bent on stealing our oil wealth in the name of good governance to kill Jonathan and then send your Boko Militia to commit genocide in our land as they are doing in the northeast on Northern Christians and in the middle belt by Fulani militias? The ND is not as always not seeking an expansionist or supremacists agenda but is fighting for full resource control. Those vessels are meant to protect our shorelines from you thieves. 4 Likes 1 Share |
