Tantita Security Services Limited has disagreed to a
defamatory and libelous statement made by the Nigerian Navy against their organisation.
It was revealed in a press statement that was made available to the media on Thursday the 7th of December, 2023 by the Director of Naval Information, Commodore Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, that informed the general public how the Nigerian Navy had detected and arrested a 77-meter-long motor tanker for crude oil theft with her 17-crew members was not true.
Commodore Vaughan added in the statement , “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, he further added thot it was upon the arrest of the vessel by the Nigerian Navy that TSS began to raise false alarm, totally unfounded and indeed mischievous.”
Based on the libelous allegations from Nigerian Navy, TANTITA has expressed disappointment and could not descend so low as to make such bizarre accusations against the organisation knowing the same to be false.
The Executive Director of TANTITA, Capt Warredi has therefore informed the general public that video evidence of what transpired between the it’s operatives and the Nigerian Navy at the scene exists and has been transmitted to the highest authorities.
He made it known that the organization will not join issues with the Nigerian Navy as they are well aware that Nigerians know who is who.
