We
present to you the copies of an official order issued by the Federal
High Court, Abuja for the arrest of ex Niger Delta militant, Tompolo in
connection to a multi-billion naira fraud involving land contracts.
Ex militant, Tompolo
Earlier today, we reported it here that an official order from the
Federal High Court in Abuja was issued for the arrest of former Niger
Delta militant, Government Epemupolo a.k.a 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 reportedly frozen by the EFCC.
However, Tompolo has insisted that the land sale was transparently
done and that any question for clarification should be directed to
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
