From Oil Theft to Budget Padding: Commodore Dappa Exposes Ibas’ Long History of “Crude” Deals

By EgbemaVoice, Meet Commodore Promise Dappa, a decorated naval officer who gave the Nigerian Navy 32 years of unwavering service, only to be denied promotion three times. Why? According to him, it all boils down to one thing; he refused to play ball with oil thieves. Dappa, who once served as Maritime Guard Commander at NIMASA, claims his anti-oil theft crusade made powerful enemies, including then-Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas. And when Ibas took the helm in 2015, Dappa says his career was sunk—not for lack of merit, but because he refused to “cooperate” with the oily underbelly of the system. “I had one of the best records among my contemporaries,” Dappa said. “But Ibas made sure I was denied every privilege, while his protégés; two of whom were later indicted by the EFCC, got promoted after looting NIMASA dry.” The retired Commodore alleges that millions were forfeited by his successors, yet they still climbed the ranks under Ibas’ watch. Meanwhile, h...
