Bomadi /Ohoro Tantita Unit, Advised Power Drunk Itsekiri Leaders to stop Ethnic-driven attacks on Tompolo to Truncate Pipeline Surveillance in Urhobo Territories

Bomadi, Delta State – July 10, 2025

We, the leadership and operatives of the Bomadi and Ohoro Tantita Surveillance Unit, write with deep disappointment and justifiable outrage over the recent shameful, treacherous, and ethnic-driven attacks orchestrated by some expired, power-drunk Itsekiri leaders who are hell-bent on crippling the patriotic work of High Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) and Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited in Urhobo territories.

According to Mr. Tupac Kelvin Ayemi, Coordinator of the Bomadi/Ohoro Tantita Unit,

> “What we are witnessing is not about ward delineation in Warri Federal Constituency — that’s just a shallow and deceptive excuse. This is a desperate attempt by those whose illegal oil bunkering empires have been destroyed by Tantita to regroup and retaliate.”

Comrade Amb. Awipi Lawson, the Secretary General of the Unit, added that

> “These same individuals, whose wealth is drenched in crude oil theft and blood money, can no longer operate their backdoor pipelines because Tantita has blocked every channel of sabotage. Now they are using the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) as a political pawn to push their selfish agenda.”

Comrade Jackson Agbor, the spokesman of the Unit, questioned the UPU’s sudden concern:

> “Where was UPU when thousands of Urhobo youths gained legitimate employment through Tantita? Where was UPU when oil thieves were bleeding the nation dry, and it was only Tantita standing up against them?”

The Unit's Treasurer, Comrade Bekes Pigha, expressed dismay at what he described as “a calculated attempt to divide ethnic nationalities who should be working together to protect the nation's economic lifeline.” He emphasized that the achievements of Tantita under Tompolo in curbing crude oil theft are undeniable and nationally recognized.

Hon. Okilo Jack, the Unit's Organizing Secretary, called on the Federal Government and security agencies to disregard these mischief-makers hiding under ethnic and community platforms to launch personal vendettas. He warned that any attempt to revoke or manipulate Tantita’s contract would only embolden criminal cartels and destabilize national security.

Echoing similar sentiments, Amb. Okporu Augustine declared that

> “No amount of blackmail, propaganda, or ethnic diversion will derail the genuine efforts of Tantita Security Services. We stand solidly behind Tompolo and his vision to sanitize the oil-rich Niger Delta region.”

We, the Bomadi/Ohoro Tantita Unit, therefore advised those few and expired Itsekiri leaders fanning the flames of ethnic tension and sponsoring underhanded campaigns to retrace their steps immediately. Enough is enough, the statement concluded.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
