Former MEND leader, General Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo has discovered 42 more illegal bunkery points where oil was stolen in Delta and Bayelsa States.

The discovery was made by Tompolo’s Tantita Security Services Limited in the recent days of the surveillance operations.

This brought the total discovered illegal tapping points to 58.

The security group, last Thursday, seized a vessel suspected to belong to an oil syndicate, which came to load crude oil from an undisclosed location in Delta State.

It was gathered that some unknown individuals in the guise of the Defunct Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta issued Tompolo a threat over the security contract.

Meantime, Tompolo when speaking with newsmen in Oporoza, the headquarters of Gbaramatu kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State dismissed the threat by the oil bunkers.
