Operations of Tantita Security Limited, handling Tompolo’s Pipeline Surveillance, ran into troubling waters weekend as unknown gunmen, the speed boats assigned to Tuomo Unit of the pipeline security network.

Sources disclosed that the unit headed by the traditional prime minister of Tuomo Kingdom in Delta State, High Chief Mike Loyibo came under attack from gunmen who made away with its 200 horse power engine.

Tantita is the company that recently won a multi-billion contract to protect crude oil pipelines in the Niger Delta against oil thieves and headed by a former militant leader, Government Ekpenupolo, aka Tompolo.

The incident occurred at Aleibiri community in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, a few hours after Loyibo and his team went to visit Henry Azazi, the new Coordinator of Aleibiri Unit.

According to Vanguard,  Azazi went to resume office, on Saturday, after Gen. Gowon Abenzi, his predecessor, was relieved of his position.

However, Azazi was reported to have swung into action and asked everyone to be calm, noting he would unravel the perpetrators of the attack and theft.
