Niger-Delta Renaissance Network has cautioned against media attacks on Government Tompolo, CEO of Tantita Security Company, Dennis Otuaro, administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme and others, disassociating them from accusations of killing and kidnapping in a viral video.
The group in a statement by its spokesman, Senior Comrade Gabriel Aniete, described the allegation as “baseless and sponsored by oil bunkers in Niger Delta.”
He said, “We wish to categorically dissociate Government Tompolo, CEO of Tantita Security Company, Dennis Otuaro, Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, and others from the baseless accusations of killing and kidnapping circulating in a viral video. These allegations are not only unfounded but are also a calculated attempt to tarnish the reputations of Tompolo, Dennis and others who have dedicated their lives to the betterment of the Niger-Delta region.
“It is evident that the individual behind these accusations is being sponsored by oil bunkers and thieves in the Niger Delta who aim to undermine the integrity of Tompolo, Dennis, and others.
“Since being contracted to provide security services around the nation’s oil pipelines, Tantita Security Company has successfully apprehended countless oil bunkers and crude oil thieves, significantly improving oil production and ensuring that Nigeria meets its OPEC quota.
“Furthermore, under Dennis Otuaro’s leadership of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, the Niger Delta has witnessed a period of relative peace. The programme has played a significant role in training and retraining numerous ex-agitators, transforming them into responsible citizens who actively contribute to national development.”
Aniete said the group is not surprised by recent media attacks and character assassination of Tompolo, Dennis Otuaro. “Their effective management of oil pipelines and the Presidential Amnesty Programme has drawn envy from forces who previously benefited from oil bunkering activities and fraudulent schemes within the amnesty programme.”
“We call on those sponsoring these character assassinations to desist immediately. It is imperative to reemphasize the commitment of Tompolo and Tantita to protecting Nigeria’s oil pipelines, as well as Dennis Otuaro’s dedication to developing initiatives that enhance the lives of ex-agitators.”
