The online forum stated “unlawful crude mining prospered, broadened and even grew in leaps and bound” under Rear Admiral Babalola’s watch as the Commanding Officer of NNS Delta, Warri Naval Base, and Flag Officer Commanding, Eastern Naval Command of the Nigerian Navy. NDSF mentioned this while responding to the previous military chief’s look on Arise television Morning Show of Dr. Reuben Abatti and his group, where he implicated the operators of Tantita Security Services Limited, of being “double-faced repented petroleum burglars.” The Forum, in a declaration launched by its President, Julius Daukoru on Sunday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, explained Babalola’s remark as “careless,” worrying that he made the television look at the request of “the criminal cartel of oil burglars and financial saboteurs, who were his partners in unrefined theft while he held sway in the Navy.” Daukoru preserved that the operators of Tantita Security Services Limited are “individuals of stability and impressive character, unblemished by criminal activity,” while keeping in mind that a few of them were associated with “the Niger Delta uprising of the late 1990s and early 2000s, simply upseting for the advancement of the area,” however the late President Musa Yar’Adua saw the requirement for addition and provided amnesty. He stated Babalola’s accusations were outrageous due to the fact that he has “no evidence nor proof.” He questioned that, if Babalola was “that sure of his truths, why did he not jail and parade them before the authority for prosecution when he functioned as Commanding Officer and FOC?” Daukoru stated, “it is obvious that he supplied cover and defense for regional and worldwide bad guys on the high sea, while they siphoned oil into ocean going vessels.” He stated Babalola’s multi million dollar residential or commercial properties in Abuja, Lagos, his native Ondo Town in Ondo state, America, United kingdom and overseas sanctuaries were purchased from “profits of prohibited unrefined bunkering, in connivance with crooks,” explaining that all the revenues from his 35 years of service in the Nigerian Navy can’t purchase him an apartment or condo in London or in other places.

Thinking about the doubts he revealed and his numerous gaffes, to which even Dr. Abatti diplomatically inserted, when he settled the program. “The erudite writer and television anchor, Dr. Abatti, believed that Tantita might not concur with Babalola’s story on lots of problems. “That was pleasing enough to hear, and made it needless people to question the old sailor. “But keeping peaceful would indicate our individuals in the Niger Delta valued the functions that Tantita plays, acquiescenced to whatever he stated. “There is an old stating that no carver can sculpt a great image from a rotten piece of wood. Therefore it is with restoring the character and stability of Admiral Henry Babalola. “Even the most pungent of Arabian fragrances can not mask the stink of his criminal participations while in workplace. “Certainly, the old soldier made the television look at the request of the criminal cartel of oil burglars and financial saboteurs, who were his partners in unrefined theft while he held sway in the Navy. “The barons are the very same distributes that Tantita and other security companies are on their path. “Admiral Babalola was on program to shake off private investigators from the path of these lawbreakers. “He did bad a task of it, as he was an aching area throughout the program. “He needs to have forgotten that while he was the Commanding Officer of NNS Delta, Warri Naval Base, the location he superintendent ended up being the point of merging for petroleum burglars and beehive for unlawful unrefined bunkering. “On the program, he pontificated as an uninvolved spectator, while the unlawful crude mining prospered, broadened and even grew in leaps and bound in the locations under his command as Commanding Officer of NNS, Delta. “It is obvious that he offered cover and security for regional and worldwide crooks on the high sea, while they siphoned oil into ocean going vessels. “He was infact, the issue till his retirement. “Admiral Babalola in the exact same breathe pointed implicating fingers at the operators of Tantita Security Services Limited, as double-faced repented petroleum burglars. It was a negligent remark to make. If he was that sure of his realities, why did he not jail and parade them before the authority for prosecution when he acted as Commanding Officer and FOC? “He must conceal his head in pity for making accusations he has no evidence nor proof. “The operators of Tantita Security Services Limited are individuals of stability and impressive character, unblemished by criminal activity. “Some of them were associated with the Niger Delta uprising of the late 1990s and early 2000s, simply upseting for the advancement of the area. “The late President Musa Yar’Adua saw the requirement for addition and provided amnesty. It is still in location till date. “Alluding to that as proof of incorrect doing, is an effort to pull the wool over the eyes of gullible individuals. It is a delusion of the creativity of the Admiral, which must be overlooked. “Considering his rank and the years Admiral Babalola invested participating in courses, both home and abroad, he showed no intellectual depth. He was shallow and flat, and simply blabbered throughout the program. “Those who sponsored his television look, his partners in criminal offense and infamous oil barons need to be extremely dissatisfied in his bad efficiency. “As mentioned in a paragraph above, Rear Admiral Babalola blazed the path in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta, others followed later on. “Today, he is rich from the profits of oil theft. “He must describe how he obtained all the option residential or commercial properties and various possessions he owns in Abuja, Lagos, his native Ondo Town in Ondo state.
