Dr Ahmed Tijani
Ramalan, pioneer chairman of the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), has claimed
that the agency pays the sum of N1.5 billion monthly to
Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, ex-militant
leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta
(MEND), to protect the nation’s maritime areas.
The Leadership Newspaper quoted Dr Ramalan as saying
that despite such gesture, the country still loses over
400,000 barrels of crude oil daily from the nation’s shores.
