Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A group of unknown gunmen have attacked Tompolo\u2019s Pipeline Surveillance boat, Tantita, making away with its 200 horsepower engine.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the incident took place in Aleibiri community, Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.<\/p>\n

Recall that Government Ekpenupolo, widely known as Tompolo, won a multi-billion contract to protect crude oil pipelines in the Niger Delta against oil thieves.<\/p>\n

Tompolo had asked Henry Azazi to take charge of his Pipeline Surveillance boat, Tantita, assigned to Tuomo Unit, which was previously controlled by Gen. Gowon Abenzi.<\/p>\n

It was disclosed that Azazi went yesterday to take over office from Gen. Abenzi, his predecessor, who was before the incident relieved of his position.<\/p>\n

However, it was also reported that Azazi swung into action immediately after the incident, asking everyone to be calm, promising he would unravel the perpetrators of the attack and theft.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it happened yesterday at Aleibiri, a neighbouring community in Bayelsa State. They made away with both the 200 HP engine and boat and we\u2019ve launched a search operation to recover it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the perpetrators and we\u2019ll recover it by any means necessary,\u201d a source who spoke under confidence said.<\/p>\n
