Niger Delta Activists Demand End to Failing Tantita Pipeline Security Contract

The Niger Delta Monitoring Group says recent claims of improved security under Tantita Security Services are misleading. Their audit and fact-finding tour found ongoing illegal bunkering, oil spills, and community exclusion despite public funding. They dispute the reported 20.9% drop in insecurity. Their review of site visits, community feedback, and environmental data shows persistent threats and selective reporting in remote areas. The group warns that a centralised contract breeds elite capture and poor oversight. It calls on the President to reject “desperate lies” and decentralise surveillance through community-based and state-level subcontracts. They argue decentralisation will boost local intelligence, create jobs, and ensure accountability. True stability, they say, requires inclusive frameworks that empower Niger Delta communities.
