Asari's pipeline allegations: Coalition warns against fresh crisis in Niger Delta

Following allegations by former Niger Delta militant Asari Dokubo about pipeline surveillance contracts awarded to certain individuals and companies, the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance (CCSOGG) warned of the risk of a new crisis in the region. Dokubo claimed that the Olu of Warri and Osahon Idahosa were receiving N2.7 trillion annually for pipeline protection and defended Tompolo's involvement. The coalition urged for an evidence-based assessment of the contracts, emphasizing transparency, official documentation, and verifiable proof to prevent unwarranted tensions and protect national security.
