It's still the army. Mind you, they didn't deploy the entire army into pipeline protection.

IbnSultaan:
The Nigerian Army said on Sunday that it had taken
over the security of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) pipelines in the Lagos area,
along with the Nigerian Navy, and craved the
maximum cooperation of host communities.
Colonel Mustapha Anka, the Director, Army Public
Relations, 81 Division of the Nigerian Army in Lagos,
disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN).
Anka said the joint operation, code named:
"Operation Awase," was set up to tackle the
vandalism of the NNPC pipelines in Majidun, Ikorodu
and other parts of the state.
He said the officers and men sighted by the
communities around the pipelines were on legitimate
duties.
"There is no illegality in the operation of our men in
any part of Lagos.
We have since discovered that some people in some
of the communities around the pipelines are part of
the vandals," Anka said.
"Any member of the communities where we are
operating, without any criminal intention, is free to
engage in lawful activities. But vandals will now
have no peace in Lagos State," the spokesman
warned.
"We also solicit the cooperation of the host
communities to give us information about the
vandals," he said.
"We have been operating in the last eight months.
The main task of the joint operation is to flush out
vandals of pipelines in the Lagos area and its
environs," Anka said.
The Army spokesman, however, did not mention
Arepo area in Ogun State as part of their coverage
areas.
NAN reported that men of the Oodua Peoples
Congress (OPC) were securing some of the
pipelines in Lagos and Ogun states before their
contract with the NNPC reportedly expired about a
week ago.
Meanwhile, some security experts have hailed the
deployment of the military to secure the pipelines.
Mr Charles Anyanwu, a security consultant, said
issues relating to security should not have been
taken away from the military.
He noted that giving such a responsibility to the
ethnic militias was like making a mockery of the
military, whose responsibility it ought to be.
Mr Jide Ageaga, the Head of Operations, Pendulum
Security, also commended the Federal Government
for terminating the contract with the militia.
"This is how terrorism starts. When you allow a
militia group with no training whatsoever in the
handling of weapons, to be in possession of arms
and ammunition, we may not know exactly how it
may end.
"We just hope the arms in their possession are
being accounted for or withdrawn from them by the
authority in charge so as to avoid any form of
confrontation between the parties," he added.

Really I don't believe u read this before posting. How can an arm of security be given "contract" of security when it is part of the government? Is the army a private outfit? Or is the army controlled by private individuals?

Oh; I only buttress the post with a jest on Jonathan. I am totally with the post. So could you read my initial post again!

We dey even dry cloth on top of high pressure lines... ...safety is zero in this nation...and please the government shouldnt fail to engage sensible. and capable indigenes in securing the lines..because in all the communities must be part of any programme to protect oil and gas assets...

If not there would be constant community problems..

He only gave the contract to his colleagues. Just like Buhari is also giving the contract to his colleagues now(the soldiers). I have come to realise that a president employs most of his associates when he was an ordinary man because they are people who have lived with him for a very long time- jonathan is not an exception.

what is this one saying? You mean militants being Jonathan colleagues should handle our security matters

Rad1cal:
Those soldiers don hammer

hahahaha!

You really did not understand my post. It is in total support for your post. I am saying that Jonathan surrounded himself with people of questionable characters before he ascended to the presidency. That was why he could descend so low to give such high profile contract to touts. If you now understand my post apologise to me sharp sharp!

It's those of you that haven't stayed much in the South South or lived there at all that hype about it. Nothing go happen if the miliary gets their. The JTF have always been there, arresting oil thieves.

God bless the President.

u mean the JTF who collect bribes and allow vandals to vandalise pipe-lines? Mr. Orlando, the Military men securing those pipelines are top strikers!

Shoot any body u see 2 mile near the pipelines

This is the kind of thread where GEJ apologists hide their face in shame. Or they come around to spin the news in other unbelievable ways.

People in your community may choose to assist the security agencies, but they should not hope of the FG putting them on its payroll.

God bless the President.
