Tajudeen Olanrewaju, a former minister of communications, says “repentant” non-state actors cannot be trusted with the security of Nigeria’s oil pipelines.
“That event in Okuoma gives me an unsettled mind about events surrounding the nation’s high volumes of oil deposits in the Western Delta,” the statement reads. “The Okuoma community’s land conflict of this nature with its neighbour may signal a new build-up of community warfare that can snowball into a bigger conflict in the region.
“I have made the points that the so-called non-state actors cannot protect our oil pipelines for lack of total patriotism.“The nation needs a national institution to protect our national assets. We need to apply capital punishment for offences relating to oil theft in the Niger Delta region and banditry around our mining states.
