He reiterated that some dark forces are hiding under the pretext of freedom of speech to work against the nation’s economic development by openly opposing the renewal of the current security pipeline contract.

The traditional ruler, in a statement on Tuesday, expressed worried that those element had forgotten the sorry state of the Niger Delta environment and the near total collapse of all aquatic life and economic down turn before Tantita Security came to the rescue.

“It is instructive to note that apart from Tantita Security other companies were also awarded the same pipeline Security and there are possibilities that more others will be awarded. So the question is why are people against Tantita Security project.
