Nigeria – Norwegian Defense Chief Haakon Bruun-Hansen, at a military inquiry yesterday apologized for doing a poor job of selling several surplus vessels in 2012 and 2013, as they’ve wound up in the possession of Nigerian warlords.

According to NewsinEnglish.no, Bruun-Hansen admitted that military officials did not carry out a thorough check of the company, CAS Global, that bought six missile torpedo boats (MTBs) and the support vessel KMN Horten three years ago.

“The fact that the vessels have landed in Nigeria under Nigerian flag reflects a breakdown in our systems, and I apologize for that,” Bruun-Hansen said.

Although he wasn’t the defense chief at the time, Hansen took responsibility for the sales which became a scandal under his tenure.



The so-called “Nigerian boats” scandal emerged after a series of reports in newspaperDagbladet, and several members of the parliamentary committee noted on Thursday that a simple Internet search would have revealed that CAS Global only had a postbox address. Defense department officials nonetheless received the Nigerians who represented CAS Global and wanted to inspect the vessels that were up for sale.

Norwegian regulations prohibit the sales or export of material or services to private buyers who may arm the vessels and offer them for use in areas of conflict, and those regulations were violated.

The vessels were bought by a private security firm that was engaged in the monitoring of our coastlines.

The private firm was a legitimate outfit which was part of the amnesty program to get Niger Delta ex militants involved in securing oil facilities and apprehending pirates off our shores.


We can now see how the Norwegian govt is now rescinding that agreement all because our boko govt now views amnestied ex militants as terrorists.

Not suprised as the Eurabia policy of the early 70's is now in full swing in Europe .

Tinubu wants to get his new puppet ayari in warri to be awarded the lucrative contracts.

This is why Tompolo is being hounded.

FYI, Tompolo or any other ex militant isn't behind the pipeline bombings.

The gas pipelines were bombed during GEJ by tinubu's men in the delta.

The Ijaws have always claimed supremacy over the itsekiris in warri.

With Tompolo overshadowing Ayari, tinubu has built a bridge between the itsekiris and he orchestrated the bombings as a false flag and then blame it on Tompolo.

Tinubu is behind the power outages .

Fact! As he is using it to both position his puppet as supreme in the region with the absence of Tompolo and also to get the pipeline contract reawarded to his boys. Tinubu is also using the pipeline sabotage to humilate fashola who he wants replaced with his own candidate in Buhari's cabinet.

The man is evil, selfish and myopic.
