Ex Niger Delta militant leader, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, factional leaders of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun and Otunba Gani Adams, have written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari over unpaid fees allegedly owed them by the NNPC.
Together with other beneficiaries of the controversial Pipeline Security and Surveillance contracts
they claimed that they had a three-month contract with the NNPC, from March 15 to June 15, which they delivered on but are yet to be paid.
The NNPC had on June 15, terminated the contract awarded under President Goodluck Jonathan to various private security firms to safeguard pipelines against vandals.
They alleged that the NNPC has refused to pay its indebtedness to them, insisting that they are demanding their entitlement and not a handout or favour.
They debunked claims that President Jonathan was the one who gave them the contract in order to secure his re-election, adding that due process was followed between them and the Management of the NNPC, before the contract was awarded.
They threatened to sue the NNPC if the outstanding fees aren’t paid.
