NIMASA Pays Tompolo N1.5bn Monthly

Pioneer chairman of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Ahmed Tijani Ramalan(photo above), has revealed that the agency pays the sum of N1.5bn monthly to the ex- Niger Delta militant leader, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, to protect the nation’s maritime areas, Leadership reports.

He said:

“Over 400, 000 barrels of crude oil are being stolen daily from our shores under President Jonathan; yet we had a government that has the Navy, the Army and the Air Force, and the government of Jonathan decides to hand over the security of our maritime waters to Tompolo at a very exorbitant amount of money.
“And these same people that are given the job of our maritime security are the ones that are collaborating with the international shipping companies to steal our oil.”

“I was the pioneer chairman of NIMASA, and NIMASA is the one funding the contract given to Tompolo. This is a guy that is collecting about N1.5bn every month and yet our Armed Forces are not well funded. So, we call on the president to discard such contract.”
