@op, is this claim verifiable?

It's not enough to just say vanguard is the source. Where's the link? The only reason to believe anything is evidence. Not sentiment.

Reski:
Truce or no truce. Tompolo is still a wanted man. No man is bigger than the law. He must vomit all the yams he ate under Gej.

QuotaSystem:


The nature of the article is such that it is a critical analysis made up of independently verifiable facts; the writer simply linked the seemingly 'independent' events to make sense of the madness in the delta.

Makes a lot of sense. Tompolo must be apprehended and dealt with decisively, afterall, he is still a wanted fugitive.

uselessgoat:



This tompolo issue is indeed a shame to the Nigerian state. He has been hiding for months and probably in this country and yet our intelligence agencies have no clue about his where abouts. This can never happen in America or UK, it won't take them 5days to arrest that son of a biitch

Until those creeks are bombarded and combed thoroughly by the military, it would be difficult to find the runaway criminal.

This is why unfortunately, a military occupation is fast becoming inevitable. He is most likely being hidden by militants and villagers alike.

I'm recommending intelligence over military actions to limit collateral damage. The federal government can plant moles in the militants camps or use phone tapping or other technologies to nab the criminal. Imagine what the FBI or Mossad would have done if this were in their territories. How can the FG allow just one man to hold them by the balls? Shameful

i wish this people can just blow up the whole oil so nigeria can find other sources of revenue. These threats are becoming unbearable. Blow everything and let the Niger delta lands fill with oil. The elites are the ones benefiting from the oil, not the common man

Izonpikin:
....but the Fulani sponsors of bokoharam should be left to run freely...

Go catch the tompolo...even without a source you chose to accept that Tompolo is he sponsor of mend and the NDA...


Biased oga I hail...

QuotaSystem:


At this point, collateral damage can only be avoided by the ND people proactively forming a vigilante against the militants, like civilian JTF in the NE, to assist the military in fishing out Tompolo, the scamVenger and their likes.

Anything else would definitely lead to collateral damage because regardless of the level of military intelligence acquired or deployed, some level of force will still be needed to apprehend the criminals.

No, it can never happen in UK because because nobody condone criminals and criminalities. Tompolo is enjoying the support of ND governors. He installed one of the ND deputy governor. People of ND see him as their hero. So, the security is helpless because a whole region is standing with criminal.

Something very fishy is going on in the Niger
Delta.

This news house believes that The Movement for
the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND),
Niger Delta Avengers and the Joint Niger Delta
Liberation Force, are working for/controlled by
one person.
That person is Government Ekpemupolo, AKA
Tompolo.

Hear us out.
Who is Tompolo?
The Nigerian State tagged Tompolo as the most
wanted man between 2006 and 2009. He is a
prominent figure within MEND.
He and his boys terrorized State oil workers and
installations in the Delta region. He was later
granted amnesty and became a top confidant to
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Goodluck granted Tompolo a contract to handle
maritime security issues for the Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency,
NIMASA.
Under this guise, Tompolo bought Norwegian
naval battleships and combat six fast-speed
Hauk-class guided missile boats.
Please remember the word SIX!
Simply put: A “former” militant officially owns
warships and boats with fully loaded missiles.
And not just any missile, but surface to air
missiles which can shoot down planes.
Then Goodluck lost the election and “New”
militant groups surfaced.
Let that sink.

Who is Avengers and Joint Niger Delta Liberation
Force?
They are militants. They promised to launch SIX
missiles. Avengers, begged Joint Niger Delta
Liberation Force to shelve missile launching.
They agreed willy-nilly.
Out of the blues, Tompolo distanced himself from
the violence wrecked by the “New” militant
groups describing it as a “dastardly act.”
Then Tompolo turns around at Buhari and says
“He (Buhari) should allow the people of the Niger
Delta region to know peace, otherwise he will not
know peace as well.”
Then Avengers and Joint Niger Delta Liberation
Force threatens Tompolo.
Tompolo flees to Libya (According to Avengers).
How did they know this?

Coincidentally, GEJ, Buhari and reportedly OBJ
met in London for different purposes. Days after
their coincidental meeting, Avengers announces
a truce and were ready to dialogue with Buhari.
Remember that Tompolo ALONE has the
capacity to launch SIX MISSILES.

Here is the shocker!
MEND, who supposedly has nothing to do with
Niger Delta Avengers and Joint Niger Delta
Liberation Force names prominent Niger Deltans
that will dialogue with Buhari.

You heard us well. MEND, not Niger Delta
Avengers, not Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force,
named their dialogue team.
Recall that Since Henry Okah’s incarceration,
one Gbomo Jomo, who we believe is Tompolo
assumed leadership of MEND.
So MEND announced a seven-member team, led
by Odein Ajumogobia, a former Minister of
Petroleum, to dialogue with the Federal
Government. MEND and Tompolo are supposed
to be at loggerheads with Avengers, right?
Na lie!

Their dialogue team includes Bismark Rewane,
Florence Ita-Giwa, Timipa Jenkins Okponipere,
Ledum Mitee, Lawson Omokhodion and Ibanga
Isine.

This is the shocker! Wait for it….
Mr. Gbomo Jomo stated that other members of
the negotiating team would be made public in
due course after consultations with relevant
stakeholders.
Synopsis and deductions from this analysis are
these:
1.Tompolo heads MEND.
2.Tompolo is Gbomo Jomo
3.Tompolo alone has the capacity to launch SIX
missiles
4.If MEND and Avengers are “quarrelling,” how
come MEND is the group nominating and putting
together a dialogue team for Avengers?
You get our drift?
A drama is happening in Niger Delta and
Tompolo knows the actors.

What are you talking about? What links Kanuri Boko Haram in the NE with Fulani predominantly in the NW? Go and learn your geography.

I can't believe the Niger Deltans suffering as their commonwealth have been diverted to the pockets of criminals, are the same ones defending Tompolo. Izonpikin you guys honestly deserve the kinds of leaders you get. Mention me no further.

@ abiambo

The land belongs to the community, Tompolo commandeered & negotiated the "sale" , what's more, they too heard about the 13bn down the line..

BTW, that one government condoned something shouldn't make it a norm, are they going to be pipelines guards for life?

[s]I am not defending tompolo...I am only dragging out your hypocritical stance as to tompolo being the sponsor of mend and NDA.l even without evidence...
Are you not biased...

Is Tompolo an innocent man? Is he not a wanted fugitive on the run? You can support the criminal, just don't insult our intelligence on this thread
