THE Federal Government has terminated the pipeline surveillance and protection contract recently awarded to some ethnic militia by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

One of the beneficiaries of the pipeline job, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), which confirmed this in a statement yesterday by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sylvester Eweka, said the Federal Government had also drafted armed military personnel to take over the security of the facilities from the operatives.

The take-over, according Eweka, had already led to a violent clash between operatives of the militia group and the police at the oil pipeline close to Sagamu, Ogun State, during which three of its personnel had been declared missing. According to the statement, those missing were Babatunde Adeyemi, Roland Ajayi and Orungbeja Dele-Osagie.

The men went missing after an armed military task-force attempted to forcefully eject them from their area of operation at the pipeline area. The statement said: “On Sunday, a lorry-load of task force members invaded the Sagamu area, claiming it had orders to forcefully reclaim control of the pipeline area.

“Irked by this unceremonious move, the private security operatives said they had no signal from their management to vacate the site.

“However, after the ensuing fracas, three men could not be accounted for by their team leaders. “Many of the security operatives fled the scene, amidst shooting by the task-force.

“The three men were part of the 4,000 private security operatives employed by New Age Global Business representing the OPC in the contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to provide security against criminals engaged in pipeline vandalism and petroleum products stealing.

“At the weekend, NNPC abruptly sent an SMS message terminating the pipeline security contract with effect from June 15, 2015.”

The Publicity Secretary, who said the OPC security outfits involved in the contract were being owed three months salary, further said: “We also demand that the NNPC immediately takes responsibility for the damages caused the group and ensure swift payment of all arrears.”

this is one of the change that we are talking about. I must comment Mr. President and NNPC for this bold step.
Re: Govt Terminates Ethnic Militia Pipeline Surveillance Contract by Jaydee009: 3:12pm On Jun 16, 2015
I have said it before that 2015 elections wasn't about Jonathan's non-performance; it was about oil and the battle for the control of the soul of Nigeria

Nobody is asking "What next?". Why did GEJ have to resort to this option (minus the obvious political maneuver). Will only military might suffice? Many more questions and scenarios need to be considered while we celebrate this right move.

So, they blow up the pipelines to deal with Mr Aboki.What next?

The oil seeps into the soil....worsening the environmental situation, and making life harder for farmers and fishermen.

The oil companies finally get fed up....and move out to more peaceful areas.

Jobs get lost, people suffer, and no money in the coffers.

Pretty soon....we would have all the oil...but what use is it...when there is no one to exploit it.? Or no one to buy it...except for some smugglers who would stiff you out of full price.


Such behaviour is like the Islamist fundamentalists up North....who chase away and maim hundreds of unbelievers every year because of say some cartoon in Europe....and the unbelievers take away their businesses, and their skills , leading to worse economic situation.

You know....you Nigerians are all alike. You self harm yourself....thinking that you are hurting the other guy....when in reality you are making things worse for yourself.

Anyway...continue. Perhaps the racists were right....Africans are dull.

This is not true.
It's more of surveillance contract of Former militants expire.
This would have been a more ideal and realistic heading.

Don`t underestimate the power of the militants. The sodiers are humans though trained by the government,but the militants have their own form of training too,the only difference is the type of weapon and the number of fighters within the areas of operation.
Boko haram is a tipical example,sometimes it`s not always the federal troop that wins the battle but the local, Find out.

Why are you calling them out, make ND boys go relax, what they need is an education so they can operate the oil refineries and not guns.
