lol

new year gobe, NNPC their own worst enemy

Vanguard th messed up this story. The title is "Depot CSO hired us to vandalise pipelines" but the story itself did not live up to the headline! Yellow journalism-- that is what it is.

Ok
There is obviously more dan what meets d eyes.

Someone is not being completely truthful

Someone once said for anytin dat is not working in nigeria, someone is benefiting from it

Of cos. It will always be them.

watered:
Alarm don blow

I don't blame the cso. The story is somehow concocted. I smell a rat and I refuse to believe the Nigerian police on this

Nairaland indirectly prodding me to become a member of her fabled association of name checkers.

baby124:
What about the police officers that died? Can he bring them back? All the staff in that depot that barricaded SARS should be fired! He should be arressted for murder and his properties sold or given to the family of the fallen police officers. What nonsense? What mistake? And why is his name withheld?

One of his name was mentioned, Mosimi. Although I think they may die down this case and that's why they didn't release his full name...

So who is doing the evil here...the C.S.O or Me

We will get to the promised land soonest.
The road is rough. Saboteurs are seriously rocking the engine from within. But thank God for the new team of patriotic voyagers.
Soon and very soon, we are going to be in the promised land.

jaymejate:
Mark my word, the CSO bn related to NNPC, the case would be buried soon.
Well, the CSO have nt bn interrogated so we can't conclude that he actually sent the people.

@bolded, Guy man that is not possible in this PMB era, such people would be used as scapegoat to others.

Nigeria we hail thee! we are d architect of our destiny..

One tin I hate about all this median reports is t withheld names of dis big thieves. everything about dis story na is boring.

d CSO must be having hot poo poo now...he is not alone.!!! all those staff in NNPC are corrupt...they must have benefitted at one time or d other

francizy:


One of his name was mentioned, Mosimi. Although I think they may die down this case and that's why they didn't release his full name...

Mosimi is a name of place not person

Don't believe everything a criminal tells you. What if they said it is GMB that sent them, what do you do? Think with your head.

CHANGEY!! these are the righteous men oh!

The crave to get rich @all cost occasioned corruption in our society. Everyday sad news are oozing out into society. Every office is this country is infected with this cankerworm. To be honest, democracy with its rule of law can't rid Nigeria of corruption and its perpetrators. We need a benevolent dictator with patriotic spirit, who will suspend the constitution for a time, to cleanse this land. If it need jungle justice to wipe off these evil people so be it.

PUSIDRILA:
Hmmmm, I smell somethin

Wat did u smell?

I don't know why pple are surprised that the CSO is involved in that kind of nefarious activity. Most things happening is orchestrated by an insider. a corps member who served with one of the refineries told me of the rot story in the NNPC. A story that will make you shed tears for this country. On a yearly basis Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) as it is called is done on the refineries yet, the refineries never worked. This is only possible because NNPC staff never allowed it to work. Marketers pay millions to ensure that nothing work. So that they can cotinue importation of petrol and of course the subsidy nonsense. God will help this country.

One of our problems in Nigeria is " hiding the names of criminals"

When we keep screming that Nigeria's problem is sabotage by the same followers looking for a mess ish, we skip the record. It is not any GeJ or PMB , it is about a change of attitude, Same thing that happens in phcn , I know Many individuals there who engage in vandalism and who are major generator importers , made a thread any this sometime ago but there was hardly any attention . Political affiliations have clouded the minds of a lot of people. Wake up , it's not about blames , its about collective action.
We Nigerians lack an identity to This geographical location we call ours.
We see this land as a prison rather than a seed that should be planted ,cared for, trimmed and groomed
We all want the nxt available ticket out of here and we forget to ask what made our intending locations what they are .
I stand for a change of attitude and doin the right thing. I no dey follow crowd.
Viva nigeria

And this right here is the main problem in Nigeria, Nigerians and greed ,corrupt set of ppl. Buhari is not a prayer send remember they said the same abt GEJ. But got frustrated along they way that he stopped caring and just gave up. The president alone can't do it if Nigerians don't change their greed and corrupt mind not even God can change Nigeria.

Have been expecting this type of news because I know the marketers and subsidy beneficiaries will try to fight back so I don't see this news as something that's is a lie, It is only a wicked man that will say there isn't MOLES in the NNPC..... The CSO names as to be release to the public right away...... Great Reasonable Nairalanders Don't be surprise If Another Oil magnate name is mention soon. It beats their imagination seeing the refineries in the country to start working....... My View

We were hired by CSO
However during an interview with Crime Guard the suspects denied indulging in pipeline vandalisation. Rather , they claimed to have been hired by the CSO to carry out surveillance of the area which is used as an exit route through Arepo creeks by vandals.

If you read to the end, you discover there's more than meets the eye.

the matter get k-leg!!!
Don't know who to believe here!!!
Police fit lie, and the boys fit lie, the depot workers too fit lie.

But in the end na what police said e happen go prevail!!!

Activa:
Everything that could go wrong in Nigeria had gone wrong!

You are right. The only way now is up. Things can't continue to go down forever just as things can't keep going up forever. Nigeria is on the way up. I BELIEVE.

Police recover guns in CSO’s office

By Evelyn Usman

Three suspected pipeline vandals arrested in Ilashe area of Ogun state last month by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Anti-Pipeline Vandalism Unit have confessed that they were hired by a Chief Security Officer at a depot in Mosimi area of Ogun state. The suspects ; Balogun Taiwo(37), Lukemon Adedigba (45) and Dayo Olanipekun (40) were alleged to have been returning from the creeks through Ilashe link , in two vehicles loaded with siphoned petroleum products belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation pipelines.
Suspected vandals

Suspected vandals

However, on sighting the operatives, said to have acted on tip off, the vandals scampered in different directions, abandoning the vehicles and containers loaded with petroleum product. It was gathered that while the operatives were towing the vehicles to their base , they were attacked by some armed vandals who opened fire .

A reinforcement from the Special Anti Robbery Sqaud, SARS Ogijo, reportedly saved the situation from resulting into the apparent kidnap or killing of some of the policemen. At the end of the shoot -out , three suspects were arrested, with a double barrel riffle while the rest escaped. .

During interrogation, the suspects reportedly confessed that they were allegedly hired by a CSO at the Mosimi depot (names withheld) . Police sources hinted that in order to ascertain their claim, a letter was written to the NNPC to release the said CSO for interrogation . Thereafter , a warrant of arrest was reportedly obtained from the court to effect the arrest of the CSO.

Mild drama

However, a mild drama unfolded when the operatives arrived MOSIMI depot to effect the arrest of the CSO, following alleged stiff resistance by some staff. Sources at the IGP Anti-Pipeline Vandalism Unit hinted that “ We went with the warrant of arrest and a search warrant to Mosimi depot. When a search was conducted at the CSO’s office, three locally made guns were recovered. When we tried to arrest him, one of the staff raised a fire alarm and all the workers assembled and barricaded all the roads, insisting that we would not take him away.

One of the officers who tried to make the exit with the three recovered riffles was held hostage and dispossessed of the guns. The workers threatened to shut the station if he was taken away. To douse the situation, we allowed him to go. Till this moment, the Corporation is yet to release the CSO for investigation”.

CSO’s appeal text to Police

While the wait for the CSO lasted, he was said to have sent an appeal text message to one of the operatives of the Unit.

Part of the text read “ Please, I beg you in the name of God ,to kindly tamper justice with mercy. I made a mistake . That will never happen again. Kindly help to bail me out of this. I am very sorry. God will grant you favour in all your endeavours…”.

We were hired by CSO

However during an interview with Crime Guard the suspects denied indulging in pipeline vandalisation. Rather , they claimed to have been hired by the CSO to carry out surveillance of the area which is used as an exit route through Arepo creeks by vandals. One of them, Balogun Taiwo , who hails from Sango Otta, Ogun State told Crime Guard that “ On November 22, 2015, I was sleeping in my apartment in Shagamu, when my phone rang.

The caller was a friend named Semiu. He informed that the CSO Mosimi said we ( Lukemon, Dayo and I )should come over, that vandals were operating around the area. He said he needed us to arrest them . I woke up immediately and mounted my motorbike. I rode to a place where Dayo and Lukemon were waiting. We met Semiu at the entrance of the NNPC gate . The guards at the gate demanded to know what we were doing at that odd hour (1. 40am ) .

As we were about to explain to them that the CSO sent for us, he (CSO) appeared and directed them to give Semiu keys to their patrol vehicle. We entered the vehicle and zoomed off , leaving my motorbike in the premises. On reaching Ilara road, we saw two vehicles and two okadas (motorcycles ) approaching from the opposite direction . Suspecting they were vandals, Semiu intercepted the vehicles, shooting sporadically. This made the occupants to flee, abandoning the vehicles. We took the vehicles and okada. Semiu then called the CSO on the phone to inform him of the development.

He asked us to remain there till dawn. While we were there , we saw another vehicle moving out of the bush . We gave them a hot pursuit which caused its occupants to flee. We discovered they had loaded their abandoned vehicles with jerricans filled with petroleum products.

Altercation

At about 4am, we saw another vanagon bus leaving the bush , we chased it and the occupants fled as well. As we were about calling the CSO, Anti pipeline policemen arrived the scene. They identified us as those who opened fire on them earlier. They followed us with the recovered vehicles and exhibits to the depot. When the CSO came to meet us at the gate, he directed that the recovered vehicles and petroleum products be kept in the premises. But the Police said it should be taken to the station . This led to an altercation , in the process of which the police towed two of the vehicles away and arrested us.

“We are not vandals. I have never been to the creeks before. This is the second time I am joining them for such surveillance. It was Semiu that invited me the first time. Semiu works for the CSO. He only contracted us to work for him . He has not even paid us . It was only Semiu that was armed. The rest of us were just with torch-lights”.

Lukemon and Dayo corroborated Taiwo’s claim, adding however that they were only given N1000 each before they embarked on the ill fated trip. Effort to reach Head, Public Affairs, Petroleum Product Marketing Company, PPMC Nasir Imodagbe , on the alleged indictment of the CSO failed as he requested this reporter to send him a text. But he never replied the text as at time of writing this report . Meanwhile, when contacted, the head, IGP Anti -Pipeline Vandalism Unit, Mr Valentine Olumese, a Chief Superintendent of Police , told Vanguard that the CSO was still being expected to clear himself of the allegation

seun, mynd44, lalasticlala

this is Treasonable!

I challenge police claim that staff dispossessed them of gun and workers barricaded the depot, they should have let us know how cso bribe them to leave depot and formed this story.

francizy:


One of his name was mentioned, Mosimi. Although I think they may die down this case and that's why they didn't release his full name...

Mosimi is the name of the place o, the village where the depot is.

The IGP mopols bringing this allegation were the one behind all this stuff if the public will believe. If the news was followed well, the police men came @ around 4am saying those guys shoot at them before. Where were the IGP mopols around that time for them to accuse those guys of shooting at them If they are not the one's involved in the siphoning process b4 it backfires. If anyone here was there that very day the policemen visited the depot, it wasn't as polite as the news was written. They came and started harrasing the CSO which everyone knows was innocent of the allegation. The staff's standin for their colleague because they knows that he's not involved in the act. The policemen didn't release the recordings of the staffs protest allerging them as vandals in which non of them denied. They just #MadeUpThisNews.
