His words:" Apart from the fact that our ameable High Chief Dr Government Ekpomupolo alias Tompolo's making our people to go back to their fishing without fear of molestation, he has been able to make our people, especially our youths, to be relevant to themselves, their families and state in particular and the country at large because, they now have jobs which can fetch them money. Today, many of our youths have left the streets".
According to the National President,the Kingdom prayed for God's protection and guidance of the life of Tompolo that, God should strengthen him to do more for the Kingdom, the state in particular and country at large.
It is no longer news that before Tantita Security Services' Nigeria Ltd was established by High Chief Dr. Government Ekpomupolo alias Tompolo, to fight insecurity in the Nigerian water ways, there were cases of kidnappings, transporters' attack by armed robbers, hostage takings by sea pirates, pipeline vandalism of pipelines and general crude oil theft. This accounts for why the Federal Government engaged the organization to fight these menace: general crude oil theft in the country- because, hoodlums' activities have greatly affected the revenues which ought to accrue to the Federal Government from its(oil) sales.
