Looking at the news of insecurity across the country in the last few years and you will notice the least of such news come from the South South. I randomly remembered when the news of insecurity used to make headlines. How pipelines were destroyed, communities affected and everything related.
Things have indeed changed in the Niger Delta region. We genuinely can't write off the impacts of security agencies like Tantita security services who have been able to work with necessary institutions and communities to stabilize and provide peace for the region.

As a Nigerian, we know where we are coming from and we know where we are currently. We certainly can't deny the harsh reality in the past when the country faced pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft that destroyed livelihood and cost the country billions of naira.
However, we also can't deny that things are now changing for good with the help of security agencies like Tantita security who have partnered with government institutions and communities across the Niger Delta to achieve continued growth.
Courts, Not Commentators
In every democracy governed by the rule of law, guilt is established by a court of competent jurisdiction—not by social media debates, television panels, newspaper headlines, or public opinion. Allegations may spark public interest, but only credible evidence presented before a court can determine criminal liability. Justice must always be driven by due process, not popular sentiment.
What if it is not the Hadiza Gabon people are assuming it is?
What if another woman’s number was deliberately saved as “Hadiza Gabon” to conceal an affair?
What if the alleged chats were fabricated to tarnish Hadiza Gabon’s reputation?
These are all possibilities. Until Hadiza Gabon and Salim Goje have had the opportunity to respond to the allegations, it would be unfair to rush to conclusions or convict anyone in the court of public opinion.
As the saying goes, there are always two sides to every story. Let us exercise restraint, seek the facts, and allow those involved to tell their side before forming our opinions.
