Today, former militant leader, Government Ekpumupolo, alias Tompolo, made a volte face, saying he would appear before the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, which issued a bench warrant for his arrest, January 14, but “at the appropriate time.”
The bench warrant followed an application by the EFCC, which had filed different charges against Tompolo, including diversion of N34bn belonging to the Nigerian Maritime and Safety Agency, NIMASA to personal use and laundering of N22.6 bbn.
Tompolo, who spoke through his Media Adviser and Consultant, Mr. Paul Bebenimibo, also said he would never commence war against the FG having accepted amnesty in 2009, reiterating that he was not party to the recent 3-day bombing of crude oil and gas pipelines in Delta state
