BREAKING: Tompolo Donates ₦10 Billion to Delta State Security Trust Fund — Historic Launch Event Held in Asaba

In what has been described as an unprecedented act of patriotism and regional commitment, former militant leader turned peace advocate, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has donated a massive ₦10 billion to the Delta State Security Trust Fund, marking a monumental milestone in the state’s security and development history.
The high-profile launch event, held at the Event Centre in Asaba, Delta State, drew an impressive crowd of political leaders, traditional rulers, security chiefs, business moguls, and community stakeholders from across the Niger Delta. The atmosphere in Asaba was filled with admiration and applause as dignitaries hailed Tompolo’s bold gesture as a turning point in the state’s approach to peace, security, and sustainable development.
TOMPOLO: “PEACE HAS NO PRICE TAG”
Speaking at the event, High Chief Tompolo reaffirmed his unflinching commitment to the peace and progress of Delta State and the entire Niger Delta region.
“Peace has no price tag. Our people deserve to live in safety and dignity. This contribution is not about politics; it’s about the future of Delta State and the Niger Delta as a whole,” he declared to resounding applause.
Tompolo emphasized that his ₦10 billion contribution was not a show of wealth but a personal investment in the peace and stability of the region, adding that the welfare of his people and the security of vital oil-producing communities remain his top priorities.
GOVERNOR’S VISION AND REGIONAL UNITY
The initiative aligns with the Delta State Government’s renewed vision to institutionalize a robust and accountable security structure through the Delta State Security Trust Fund — an independent framework designed to pool resources from both the public and private sectors for the state’s safety architecture.
At the event, government officials lauded Tompolo’s gesture as a historic demonstration of corporate and individual responsibility, noting that it would go a long way in supporting local intelligence operations, logistics, marine patrols, and community policing initiatives across the state.
A top government representative who spoke on behalf of the Delta State Governor described the donation as “a legacy act that will redefine security financing in the Niger Delta.”
“What Tompolo has done today is not only commendable but revolutionary. He has shown that true leadership comes from vision, sacrifice, and the courage to act,” the official stated.
TRADITIONAL RULERS, SECURITY CHIEFS, AND BUSINESS LEADERS HONOUR TOMPOLO
The launch in Asaba witnessed the presence of several royal fathers from the three senatorial districts of Delta State, including top-ranking Ijaw, Urhobo, and Itsekiri monarchs, who all took turns to shower praises on Tompolo for his uncommon wisdom and commitment to peacebuilding.
Security chiefs representing the Nigerian Army, Navy, and Police Force were also in attendance, pledging to deepen collaboration with local security networks under the new trust fund arrangement.
A delegation of business executives from the oil and gas, shipping, and construction sectors pledged further financial support to sustain the long-term objectives of the Security Trust Fund.
“This initiative by Tompolo is a wake-up call for all well-meaning Niger Deltans. Security is a shared responsibility, and today, Tompolo has shown us the way,” one business leader remarked.
FROM EX-AGITATOR TO REGIONAL STATESMAN
High Chief Government Ekpemupolo’s transformation from a former Niger Delta militant commander to a symbol of peace and leadership continues to earn him national and international recognition.
Through his company, Tantita Security Services Limited, Tompolo has been at the forefront of Nigeria’s renewed efforts to curb oil theft and pipeline vandalism, a development that has significantly improved national crude oil output and restored confidence in the region’s security framework.
Analysts believe that his ₦10 billion donation will further consolidate these achievements and inspire similar interventions from other influential figures and private institutions.
“This is not just philanthropy — it is a blueprint for regional transformation,” said Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi, an academician and development advocate, in his closing commentary. “Tompolo’s action redefines leadership as a responsibility to protect and empower one’s people.”
ASABA CELEBRATES A NEW SECURITY DAWN
The on going grand launch is expected to be concluded with the symbolic unveiling of the Delta State Security Trust Fund’s operational framework and a commitment from stakeholders to ensure transparency, accountability, and sustainability in its management.
The event included cultural displays, goodwill messages, and prayers for continued peace and unity in Delta State and the entire Niger Delta region.
Observers have since hailed the occasion as a “new dawn for peace and security” in Delta State — one that sets the stage for inclusive development, inter-ethnic collaboration, and a shared vision of safety and progress.
