Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Tompolo by LMFashions: 1:45pm On Jan 14, 2016
A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has issued a bench warrant for ex-Niger Delta militant, Mr Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.

This follows a request from the EFCC counsel, Festus Keyamo, who said Mr Tompolo has consistently failed to honour invitations from the anti-graft Commission.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) had asked Tompolo to appear on December 17, 2015 for questioning in respect of the N13 billion land acquisition controversy for Nigerian Maritime University, (NMU) in Warri South-west Local Government Area (LGA) Delta State, with a threat to declare him wanted should he fail to appear.

The Federal High Court had earlier summoned the former Niger Delta militant, to appear before it.

Justice Ibrahim Buba asked Tompolo to appear before him on Thursday, January 14, to answer to a 40-count charge of unlawful conversion brought against him by the EFCC.

He also granted leave to EFCC to serve Tompolo the summons and the charges through substituted means by “affixing same on the conspicuous part of his last known address situated at 1, Chief Agbanu DDPA Extension Warri, Delta State”.

The judge issued the summons following an application filed by the EFCC through its lawyer, Rotimi Oyedipo, who alleged that they have not been able to serve Tompolo with a copy of the charge.
