Asari Dokubo Claims N2.7 Trillion Pipeline Contracts
Asari Dokubo has made allegations regarding pipeline surveillance contracts, claiming they are worth N2.7 trillion annually, a figure he initially misstated as monthly. He compared this to the contract held by Government Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, which has been valued at around N48 billion.
Dokubo defended Tompolo amid public criticism of his contract with Tantita Security Services, questioning why similar scrutiny has not been directed at other beneficiaries, including Osahon Idahosa and Arthur Eze. He also mentioned seeing a vessel linked to former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu in Niger Delta waters.
However, Dokubo provided no documentation to support his claims. In response, Prince Collins Edema, representing the Olu of Warri at NNPC Limited, dismissed Dokubo's allegations as false and challenged him to provide evidence.
Analysts have raised doubts about Dokubo's claims, suggesting he may have conflated oil production value with security fees.
