Only what is needed here is more sense and transparency. The oil should have been sold off and returned to pay for say ASUU demands? The ship could have been acquired for training or sold as scrap to local smith companies and proceeds returned to service bursaries for children in military or police schools...
But burning? In an age where we are working towards net Carbon zero?
One wrong mindset displayed today can result in a grossly depreciating environment tomorrow

What is the sense in destroying the vessel? Why not confiscate the stuff and distribute it to the depots?

Hmm I smell cover up.

Nigeria cannot produce anything tangible, but will destroy something that can be used for another purpose in a blink,lol

honour7:


Same way they cannot use weapons captured from book haram even if many may be more sophisticated than what our military currently have, Government cannot convert things gotten from criminal enterprise that is the policy worldwide as it is a security risk.

I don't think there's any government policy handbook that states this... If that's your belief, how come vehicles seized from smugglers are auctioned and sold to govt cronies for cheap prices? How come seized houses are converted to government buildings and some sold?

It's either they're trying to cover things up as most people quoting me have suggested or just the usual wastefulness of the govt.

Mrkindness:
Why not government confiscate it and turn it into national asset. Black man is a disaster to himself. This belong to Asari Dokubo and Tinubu join business

So that it can be legally impounded and confiscated anytime it steps out of Nigerian maritime boundaries. You speak foolishly.

So it's not the poor man or common man stealing this crude oil because a poor man cannot own a vessel like this....so it's the rich people and politcians stealing this crude oil...they can own and acquire this vessel and the politcians and federal government are saying they do not know who is stealing the crude oil... Buhari a minister of petroleum... hyprocrites

vastolord4:
Tompolo fighting his enemies friends with this contract.. this country is ruled by big magicians and award winning entertainers called FG. It might even belong to tompolo himself and why burn the ship? It could be enhanced and added to the national fleet

Fixed

edunaragold:
seating there an talking, is diff from acting, how do u expect it to be confiscated when it's in enemy territory with unknown ambush around it use you head oga, this is not a custom war , but a warfare for military.

Nonsense. Complete nonsense.

This rusted abandon ship wey no dey work,una dey whyne us,they us to remove our mind from their oil theft

Says a pathetic white man catfish

MonsieurX:
What a waste... They could have converted the vessel and given it to the navy or sold it off at an auction.

The way we burn valuable things in the name of law enforcement calls for concern.

I know you people will always mention Tinubu in everything .If you have quarrel with your wife or girlfriend, it is Tinubu. You people now make Tinubu to even popular than OBI,ATIKU,KWAKWANSO and OTHERS combine together.

Eniitankorede:





If they knew, why give contract to Tompolo running into 4 billion daily?

4 billion daily bawo?

You quoted the wrong person sir. Please check the post again. Ibile lawa o, itesiwaju Nigeria lo je wa logun.

Since some people are complaining and against the contract given to him.
That vessel na old and water to kwensh vessel that was used(sacrificed) for acting to make it look like the guy is working.

Nature really displayed Unkindness to you by gifting you an unusual form of Congenital Defect unknown to Geneticists totally affecting your Mental Capabilities

The most mumu people I have ever seen.


So, it cannot be seized for evidence and maybe later used. The barbarity of Nigerians most times clouds our judgement. No wisdom in their actions.

iLoveYouToo:



That old thing? Bros the best use for that vessel is to recycle the metal.

Try dey watch foreign documentaries, these things happen everywhere.

They even have scrap yards where they crush vehicles that aren’t road worthy.

Please give the black man a break

They generally destroy crime scene material (and then only in special cases) AFTER the investigation is complete and justice has been served. Not a minute before.

The house in which Jeffrey Dahmer killed his victims was demolished and the plot stands vacant to this day. But it was demolished only after the investigation was complete - and even that investigation had serious lapses - which goes to show that these other countries also mess up big time too. But they learn from their errors.

Compare that mindset with the rubbish on display here. Nigerian military can never ever be found in a situation in which good, sound judgment is demonstrated. Never.

These are the ppl destroying Nigeria..some ppl should be languishing in jail..Nigeria is in deep mess..wastage everywhere.

An operational vessel that has been stealing oil was caught, instead of the black man to remodel it for local use in the navy, he destroyed it.
Meanwhile he can't produce ordinary pencil in his county.

We are cursed in Nigeria.
Thanos where are you.

The boss was foolish to think that he could bribe a man whose contract is well above $4.5b a month.



He should have offered something more substantial and not a mere N25m.



Next time, vessels and crude shouldn't be destroyed but put to good use.



Tompolice, well done sha!

Surprises me how you guys compare our justice system to that of the west. Are they the same?

What would they use to prosecute the suspects in court ? Nawa oo

Not sure what you mean...

AllDModsAreMaad:

4 billion daily bawo?

I just heard that in the news.

So, who's now the owner of the vessel? No name ba?

This government ehhhhhhhh!

Beya iron condemn for any aboki wey Sabi swim. They'll still make millions from the skeleton of the vessel. Lol

CORRUPT Government MAKING sure they get RID of evidence in the vessel. If you don't gerit, for gerit bro.

MonsieurX:

We said this at the same minute bro... Too bad the government is so wasteful. Apart from fake drugs and toxic substances, I don't see any sense in incinerating valuable things.

Ecological disaster

They claimed the vessel was from lagos hope it's not tinibu that owns it?

princepee:
So tompolo is doing what Nigeria Navy cannot do?
And someone still head that organization.
We are not serious in this part of the world.
Individual doing the work of the government.
Now that the evidence have been destroyed let them tell us who own the vessel.
It's ship for crying out loud. Not a needle.
I give up on naija.........
The government and it's people are corrupt.

Tompolo said the vessel is from lagos so it's likely to be owned by tinibu and his boys.

MonsieurX:

you don't get it, government officials are involved in it so the evidence must first be neutralised
