Security operatives from the Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Delta Safe, alongside Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, have destroyed a large vessel found to be carrying stolen crude oil in the Escravos area of Delta State. The vessel, allegedly owned by a Nigerian registered company, was bound for Cameroon with its illegal cargo when it was intercepted offshore, with the captain and crew members present. Captain Warred Enisuoh, the Executive Director of Operations and Technical at Tantita Security, and Rear Admiral Olusegun Ferreira, the Commander of the JTF Operation Delta Safe, revealed that the oil cargo had been unlawfully sourced from an offshore well in Ondo State without any valid documentation. The vessel had been operating discreetly for the past 12 years. This discovery adds to a series of troubling findings made by Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, a security firm contracted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and owned by former militant leader Government Ekpemepulo, also known as Tompolo.
