Pipeline surveillance: Dokubo vows to stop Tompolo from controlling Kalabari

Factual Pursuit of Truth for Progress

THE Founder of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to hold back the Kalabari area of Rivers State from getting into the hands of Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, a former militant leader.

In a covert deal, the Federal Government signed a N4.5bn monthly pipeline surveillance contract with Tompolo. He is to protect the oil pipelines and facilities in the Niger Delta from invaders.

However, Dokubo, who also has interests in oil in the region, said in a video now viral that it is greedy of Tompolo to be in charge of pipeline protection for all the ethnic groups in the Niger Delta.

He vowed to stop Tompolo from being in charge of the surveillance contract for the 83km pipeline crisscrossing his Kalabari area in Rivers State.

“You will take pipeline contract in Delta State your place and then you come to Kalabari to take another one saying you are an Ijaw man because you are the only one that knows how to eat.
