A large scale investigation has begun into the recent discovery of illegal oil tapping from the NNPC pipelines as the Department of State Services has extended its invitation to security companies contracted to protect the pipelines for questioning.
A source hinted papermacheonline that the invitation is one out of many extended to individuals and companies by the DSS.
A former militant, Government Ekpemupolo popularly known as Tompolo made the discovery on major tapping points where international oil companies, security officials, oil bunkerers have been stealing crude oil for over 9 years.
Many influential individuals, government officials and high ranking security officials have been mentioned as part of the illegal tapping.
The President, Muhammadu Buhari is said to have instructed that no one should be spared and ordered thorough investigation.
The DSS has hinged its operations first on the security companies tasked with protecting the pipelines.
The security companies are believed to be complicit in the illicit act, thus explaining the invitation and investigation that will commence from there.
