It was maintained that the Emna Fleet, a pipeline surveillance company owned by Emami Ayeri and Tantita security company, owned by Oweizide Ekpomupolo, pay their supervisors N300,000 and filed boys N200,000 monthly, while the Caeser and Emperor of Orogun are paying his Kingsmen the sum of N60, 000.
