Vanguard (Lagos)
2 August 2008
CONTRARY to Engineer Abubakar Lawal Yar'Adua's claim that the Nigeria National Petroleum Company, (NNPC) paid $12m to militants to guard its pipelines in Delta State, Saturday Vanguard can authoritatively reveal that the oil giant paid only $315, 000. Details from the NNPC indicate that the oil company made the payment to a security company that handled the Chanomi Creek crude pipeline contract.
