Tompolo, NIMASA N13billion Land Fraud: Controversy as Itsekiri community moves to petition EFCC over land claim


The last may not have been heard regarding the
ongoing investigation by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over the 13
billion naira allegedly paid to some leaders of
Gbaramatu community by NIMASA for the
acquisition of land for Nigeria Maritime
University, NMU, as leaders of an Itsekiri
community (Omadino) in Warri South Local
Government Area were said to be making frantic
move to petition the Anti Graft Agency over
claim of being “true owners” of the contentious
community where the NMU is sited.

Fresh Angle International gathered from
Chairman of Omadino Elders’ Council, Elder O.D.
Edukugho and President of Omadino Employment
and Development Association, OEDA, Prince
Metsese Diden that people of the oil rich
Omadino community were shocked by the 13
billion naira reportedly paid by NIMASA to some
leaders of Gbaramatu for a land “that the
Supreme Court early 2015 decided in a case
that the true owner is Omadino”.

While urging the “EFCC to unravel the mystery
surrounding the acquisition of the parcel of
land”, Elder O.D. Edukugho noted, “Omadino
community did not receive a dime for the
transaction even when it is known to the
Federal Government that the entire land space
is a property of Omadino community, with its
real name called Okerenghigho”.

He wondered why some people would “take
undue advantage of having their kinsmen in
government to perpetuate the evil grabbing
and illegal appropriation of other peoples’ land
without the express permission of the true
owners of such land”.

President of Omadino Employment and
Development Association, OEDA, the umbrella
body of youths of Omadino, commended
President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against
corruption and enjoined the Federal government
to investigate the 13 billion naira land
acquisition fraud to a logical conclusion.

It would be recalled that the Anti Graft Agency
last week invited Ex-Militant, High Chief
Government Ekpemupolo AKA Tompolo to appear
at its office tomorrow, December 17, 2015
regarding the 13 billion payment or face being
declared wanted.

Hmmm

Mtchew

Karma is a biatch

One minute Tompolo is accusing the FG and APC of witch hunting him for refusing to join the party and possibly win Bayelsa at all cost for it,the next minute some persons are accusing same Tompolo of illegally acquiring their land.

Tompolo should do the right and sensible thing by honouring the EFCC invitation and clear his name once and for all.

The days of"above the law"are long gone.

let them move the maritime university to another state abeg, Delta state is not yet ready for development.
The other time it was PZ now maritime university and the worst is when they site it there every second there would be fight over where to locate campus, over how they would settle community over rubbish irresponsible things .
