An official order from the Federal High Court in Abuja has been issued for the arrest of former Niger Delta militant, Government Epemupolo also known as Tompolo who is being investigated by the EFCC for allegedly fraudulently selling a land for N13 billion to the last administration for the construction of a Nigerian Maritime University (NMU).
Tompolo was in December last year invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning but refused to honor their invitation claiming he was in court against the anti-graft agency.
The bank accounts of his companies, Mieka Divers Ltd and Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Ltd, used for the payment of the N13 billion has been frozen by the EFCC.
Tompolo, a former Niger Delta militant, had bank accounts belonging to him frozen by the EFCC. According to reports at the time, two companies linked to Tompolo, Mieka Divers Ltd and Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Ltd, had their accounts frozen by the EFCC because of their use in fraudulent exchanges.
Specifically, the EFCC wishes to question Tompolo about the illicit sale of N13 billion in land from him to the Federal Government. According to reports, the Federal Government wanted to construct the Nigerian Maritime University (NMU) and had diverted public funds through the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to the militant.
Mr. Tompolo is reportedly hiding in the Niger Delta creeks; he rejects any insinuation that the land deal was fraudulent asking EFCC to contact former President Goodluck Jonathan for clarification. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis kind of court order will be speedily carried out because they respect the judiciary, but if the same court grants bail it will not be carried out because the judiciary is corrupt! Naija!
ReplyDeleteSome thoughtless guys just can see reason why we should stop people stealing our resources. The crime is not just against Nigeria but Ijaws who claimed to be representing. Haba Bros why this injustice against your people. Do you have conscience? You collected N13b and gave the community who owns the land a patry sum of N300. There is God oh! !!!!
ReplyDeleteThe person who steal a nation's money is more corrupt.
ReplyDeleteMay God deliver this country from the problem of stomach infrastructure. People are very greedy and selfish. Such big money should have been used by the community to improve themselves if equally shared among themselves. Tampolo should be compelled to vomit the whole money by force. This is criminal act against your community.
