We Have Traitors Everywhere, Even In The Navy, Says Tantita Director Enisuoh

Executive director technical operations, of Tantita Security Services Nigeria limited, Warredi Enisuoh said that there are “Judases” in every sector of the country, even in the Navy.

In an interview with ARISE NEWS on Monday, Enisuoh also stated that the Tantita security service was not at loggerheads with the Navy but only had a problem with those who are against fixing the country.

“Tantita’s relationship with the Navy has not broken down. If you listen to the Navy, they said they work with a lot of other private security service providers. But I guess it is a bit of a culture shock that maybe for the first time, they are working with someone like Tantita who has got such tenacity and capacity to do damage to those who want to do damage to Nigeria. We have Judas everywhere. We have Judas in the Navy.

“We have to be at loggerheads with a few elements that just don’t agree that these crimes have to stop”

Enisuoh, who refuted the claims of the Navy which alleged that Tantita has a hand in the arrested 77-meter-long motor tanker used for crude oil theft, said contrary to that report, the security service provider has been monitoring the ship for a long time.

“We took interest in this ship in 2018 and what I will tell you here will shock you. This ship started stealing oil from Nigeria in 2018. We weren’t present at that time but we kept monitoring every situation. Mind you, my contract or Tantita’s contract never stated that that area is under our responsibility. Maybe those who are talking may need to avail themselves of my contract terms.

“Secondly, we got our informant from Ghana who told us that a ship has departed Ghana with the intention to come and steal crude oil from Nigeria. This was November 10, this year. We knew about it and we knew this ship is well connected and we followed this ship till it switched off its electronic signature three weeks ago and we had to create an EPB, an umbrella over the Niger delta region and we kept monitoring.

“Let me tell you the history of this ship. First, Sierra Leonean flag, stealing from Nigeria and nobody could catch it. We were not here at the time. Second, it came closer to Nigeria, possibly scared of the previous administration’s stand against this oil theft. It kept its flag as Togolese but something very ironic, May this year, it changed its flag to Nigeria.

“It must be connected to someone who thinks he has won and we can steal now. So, who was being protected? When we caught this particular ship, we followed it for over a month. We got intelligence that yes, that it is in the area and we left in the morning to make sure that we secure the ship.

“We got there but, on our way there, we got further intelligence that they have got four AK-47 with bands of ammunition on board. When we got that intel, we said to hang on around the area till we get back up.

“While waiting for that backup, we believe they radioed their shore supporters to come to their rescue and that was how the fracas started. It takes about 30 minutes to get to that location, secure yourself and connect the hose. As we speak, we know who connected the hose.”

He further called for more investigation to be carried out on this matter.

“I would use this opportunity to request that this whole thing should not be pushed underground. There is more to this ship than meets the eyes. There are lots of documents on board that ship that we need to see what’s inside.”
