Tompolo Bought Boats For Navy, Not Warships – Nimasa’s DG by bugs1: 5:45am On Dec 18, 2014
The director-general of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Patrick Akpobolokemi has debunked the allegation that ex-militant Government Ekpemokpolo, “AKA Tompolo” bought warships, explaining that they were not warships but boats meant for the Nigerian Navy for the purpose of combating piracy, oil theft and other sea crimes.

A report recently went viral that Tompolo acquired six warships from Norway. But the NIMASA boss said they were not warships, but decommissioned boats provided for the Navy on behalf of NIMASA and that the boats are now manned by the Navy.

Tompolo sits on the board of Global West Vessels Specialists Limited (GWVSL), a company the agency awarded a multi-million dollar contract to provide anti-piracy platforms, while NIMASA maintains an MOU with the Navy on anti-piracy, oil theft and other sea crimes. The contract to GWVSL was signed in February 2012 and was to be renewed annually based on satisfactory performance.

Even if it is meant for the Navy, why should it be Tompolo making the purchase. Besides how would it sound if it is aired that "Asari Dokubo buys Armoured Personnel Carriers for the Nigerian Army"?

Dr Patrick should keep shut in shame. Does it mean that NIMASA can't buy her equipment through official channels? Tomorrow, SheCow will buy helicopters for Defense Headquarters.

An ex-mililtant who specializes in oil bunkering, sea piracy, gun-running, kidnapping; threatened jonathan from landing in warri despite the president handing over the territorial integrity of Nigeria to this criminal and recently held some journalist hostage suddenly becomes the buyer of weapon for a constitutionally-recognized institution.


It's either Tompolo or Akpobolokemi or Jonathan is crazy !
