We need to fight these criminals to submission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is happening here is so bad that we cannot even know the implications unless maybe when people start dying in their numbers, that is when people will know that a few persons were profiting from this crime are here to wipe all of them out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, as a responsible government, we have decided that we will put a stop to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will work with stakeholders to stop all this nonsense in our society. We are not going to allow them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to also use the opportunity to express our gratitude to Tantita that has been commissioned by the NNPCL to be able to do some work, but we are going to do a lot more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, said the Federal Governor would sustain its partnership with Tantita Security Services Limited, to curb the crime of pipeline vandalism and oil theft in the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the federal government would soon take additional measures to ensure that things changed for the better in pipeline security.<\/p>\n<p>Ribadu said: \u201cWe have done very well to get to where we are now. We are certainly going to take more measures. So far, things are beginning to change. Give us little time, and you will see things change for the better.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government on Saturday expressed gratitude to the management of private security services, Tantita Security Services Limited, for their efforts in pipeline protection in the Niger Delta region.
