....As Tompolo’s Tantita Security Services Engaging in Beheadings of Nigerian Civilians. These Recordings Specify Locations, Times, Coordinates—Particularly in Rivers State

A tragic incident has recently exposed a deeply troubling nexus of illegal activities, revealing how the complex web of security operations under the guise of protecting vital national infrastructure has devolved into an enterprise of kidnapping, human trafficking, beheading of Nigerians and running of private prisons. The harrowing story of Karawei Bala, a respected priest from Gbaraun in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, stands as a stark symbol of this dark reality, illuminating the unchecked abuse carried out by security outfits associated with notorious figure like Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.

On July 11th, 2024, what was an ordinary day turned into an unthinkable nightmare for Bala’s family. The priest, a devoted father of six, whose wife was pregnant, along with relatives and his aged mother, found their peaceful life shattered when he was abducted from his residence. Eyewitness accounts and credible sources attribute his kidnapping to a highly orchestrated operation allegedly directed by Tompolo himself. It is claimed that a man identified as Bodmas Prince Kemepadei, acting under Tompolo’s orders, led the operation to seize Bala. Reports suggest that Tompolo initially invited Bala to visit, purportedly to discuss issues known only to him. When Bala declined, refusing to fraternize with Tompolo or his notorious security network, the situation escalated violently—his home was stormed in a heavily militarized raid, with kidnappers blindfolding him before vanishing into the shadows leaving his family devastated.

Since that fateful day, there has been no sign of Karawei Bala. His family now survives on the sparse kindness of Good Samaritans, desperation creeping in as hope diminishes with each passing day. Community members and human rights advocates remain unconvinced that Bala is still alive, casting suspicion over Tompolo’s involvement. His violent history, well-documented and notorious, casts a long shadow over any claims of innocence or benign intent. Rumors circulating among local communities allege that Bala may be held within Tompolo’s private prisons—secret detention facilities infamous for brutality, alleged torture, and extrajudicial killings. Witness testimonies suggest that victims are often disposed of in clandestine graves, their families left forever in the dark, effectively erasing their existence and covering up crimes of unimaginable brutality.

These revelations expose a profound failure of oversight by Nigeria’s security agencies and federal authorities, who seem either complicit or willfully oblivious to the expansive reach of Tompolo’s illicit empire. The lucrative pipeline security contracts awarded to Tantita Security Services have, according to investigations, been manipulated as a cover for various criminal enterprises—ranging from human trafficking to forced labor and outright slavery. Evidence also hints at the use of these operations for specific acts of terrorism and violent extremism, destabilizing local communities and fueling insecurity across the region.

The Nigerian police have reportedly begun preliminary investigations into these allegations—yet critics assert that much more concrete action is desperately needed. There is growing momentum behind demands to suspend all contractual relationships between Tantita Security Services and national oil corporations, including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). The primary concern is that the security firm, under Tompolo’s command, has not only failed to protect pipelines but has become an instrument of criminality, endangering national security and perpetuating violence.

Legal action by victims who have suffered under Tompolo’s regime has begun to surface in courts, accusing him and his security outfit of human rights violations. However, justice remains elusive; impunity continues to shield the alleged perpetrators from accountability. Further compounding public outrage are grave online videos circulating widely on social media, purportedly showing members of Tompolo’s Tantita Security Services engaging in beheadings of Nigerian civilians. These recordings [ see video link https://realnewsglobal247.com/videonews/5:Viewer ]  specify locations, times, coordinates—particularly in Rivers State—placing these heinous acts within the broader context of the organization’s alleged atrocities. Such evidence underscores the urgent need for thorough, independent investigations into the group's operations.

The situation underscores the urgent necessity for transparent, rigorous investigations and decisive government intervention. Until meaningful action is taken, Nigeria risks empowering criminal elements that thrive amid chaos and violence—elements that disregard human life and threaten national stability. Questions persist regarding how much the authorities truly understand about the clandestine operations of Tantita Security and the extent to which the government’s resources may inadvertently be fueling a covert terrorist network that continues to operate beyond legal oversight.

The ongoing saga of Tompolo and his security enterprise reveals a troubling pattern of government oversight failures and complicity, raising concerns about the true nature of Nigeria’s fight against insecurity. As voices grow louder, demanding accountability, the nation faces an urgent call to act decisively before these dark undercurrents deepen, endangering the fabric of Nigerian society at large.
