 Security operatives of the Joint Tax Force Operation Delta Save in collaboration with Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited have set ablaze an intercepted vessel carrying barrels of stolen crude oil in the escravus area of Delta State. The vessel allegedly owned by a Nigerian registered company was heading to Cameroon with their cargo onboard when it was apprehended at an offshore location with a captain and crew members on board. Shatter the vessel so they sent someone on board to take us we had to load so we don't know that's what he wanted to load but we just followed instruction so he took us to a jacket a jacket to load but we couldn't stay there for long we just left there and I called my boss that this is what is happening there so my boss said I should leave there so now on our way going back to our position of hand call so Tantita Boys, Tantita Security not cross us. According to the Executive Director of Operations and Technical at Tantita Security Captain Warhead in Niswo and the Commander of the Joint Tax Force Operation Delta Save, Rea Admiral Olusiagun Ferrari they all cargo was illegally sourced from a well-jacketed offshore in Undo State with no valid documentation at the time of their arrest. The said vessel was operated in stilt mode for the last 12 years. The discovery was the latest in the series of disturbing findings by the Tantita Security Services Niger Limited a security outfit owned by former militant leader government equipment polo aka Tom Polo and contracted by the national national petroleum company NNPC Limited. Office of the current Chief of Defence Staff General C. G. Musa he reiterated the resolve of the armed forces and indeed the whole of the stakeholders within the area to continue the fight against criminalities in the Niger Delta area against our common patrimony and this includes illegal bunkering pipeline vandalism, crude oil theft and the likes. And this has been achieved largely in synergy with the host of stakeholders which have listed earlier. Most importantly we have at the front end our partners who provide the intelligence for us to carry out our kinetic functions as the armed forces. The whole idea of destroying the vessel is to send a strong message to all would be investors in illegality in Nigerian waters that this is what they are going to face if they so wish to do this type of business. And it doesn't end here also the government will do all it takes our security forces will do all it takes to further bring to book you the individuals that kind of sponsor these type of missions.
