Itsekiri Nation Embarks On Massive Protest To Counter Attacks On Tantita Security Services, Says Enemies Of Nigeria’s Economic Growth Behind Abuja Protest -

____Calls On President Tinubu To Ignore Calls For Termination Of Tantita Contract

By Uche Alvin

The entire Itsekiri nation has risen in unity as well-meaning sons and daughters take to the streets in a massive protest to condemn the incessant and unfounded attacks by a few misguided individuals against TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited. These attacks are based on false allegations regarding TANTITA’s role in carrying out the Federal Government’s pipeline surveillance and security operations within Itsekiri land.

Investigations reveal that the smear campaign against TANTITA is fueled by the company’s relentless efforts, alongside the Nigerian Navy, to uncover and dismantle several illegal crude oil bunkering sites in various Itsekiri communities. In response, the true lovers and protectors of the Itsekiri nation have come out en masse to express unwavering support for TANTITA’s commendable work.

The protesters lauded TANTITA for its crucial contributions, which include halting illegal bunkering activities that have caused severe environmental degradation, reduced life expectancy due to pollution, and jeopardized the well-being of innocent citizens. Beyond security operations, TANTITA has provided employment opportunities for thousands of Itsekiri youths, women, and men, empowering communities and restoring hope to the once neglected and vulnerable population across the region.

This massive show of solidarity underscores the real reason behind the orchestrated attacks on TANTITA: a desperate attempt by illegal operators to resist the positive change that threatens their illicit activities.

The Itsekiri nation stands firm — united in their resolve to protect their land and support TANTITA in its mission to secure a safer and more prosperous future for all.
