“To our detractors, economic saboteurs and enemies of the nation, the message is strong and clear: our resolve to stamp-out crude oil theft and the destruction of our environment is non-negotiable.

“We call on all stakeholders that elections have come and gone and it’s time for all patriotic Nigerians to join the visionary Asiwaju to move our country forward. Let’s all share the optimism of the ordinary Nigerians across the country who elected him President because of their faith in his message of renewed hope, and because of their conviction in his track record. Our country deserves no less from all of us,” he added.

In 2022, the Nigerian Government awarded a pipeline surveillance contract to Tompolo’s company to check massive oil theft in the region.

So far, the security firm has assisted the government to uncover series of illegal pipelines in the Niger Delta, leading to arrests of oil thieves in the region.
