The Executive Director of Operations and Technical, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) has debunked an alleged involvement the company in illegal crude oil theft.

In TSS while responding to alligation said “Our attention has been drawn to a defamatory and libelous statement made by the Nigerian Navy against our organisation, Tantita Security Services Limited”.

While expressing shock over the attitude of Nigerian Navy, he said “We are indeed saddened and disappointed that the Nigerian Navy could descend so low as to make such bizarre accusations against our organisation knowing the same to be false”.

“Perhaps they are not aware that video evidence of what transpired between the Tantita operatives and the Nigerian Navy at the scene exists and has been transmitted to the highest authorities”.

Still mainting their stand in a statement made our available to our Lagos correspondence” We will therefore not join issues with the Nigerian Navy as we are well aware that Nigerians know who is who”.

Before now, on Thursday 7th of December, 2023 by the Director of Naval Information, Commodore Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan informed the general public that the Nigerian Navy had detected and arrested a 77-meter-long motor tanker for crude oil theft with her 17-crew members.

“it is believed that Tantita Security Services is involved in these illegalities because Awoye riverine area which is close to the place of arrest is covered by TSS”.

Again it was upon the arrest of the vessel by the Nigerian Navy that TSS began to raise false alarm, totally unfounded and indeed mischievous.”
