We are all aware of the alleged N13billion land deal scam involving Mr Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, a former Niger Delta militant and some former officials of NIMASSA. It is no news that not only that Tompolo refused to respond to EFCC's investigators summon, he also refused to appear before the court. His refusal to appear forced the judge to slam a warrant of arrest against him, which as expected will be effected by security agents. Though some people choose to assume that he's untouchable. The raw truth is that nobody, including Tompolo is untouchable. It will be in his own interest to appear before the judge and not dare the State. I say this for the following reasons;

1. He Cannot Afford To Make "General" John Togo Mistake:
In 2010 General John Togo assumed that he was powerful and untouchable. He dared the government of Jonathan that was pressing on him to surrender to the federal government. He had received amnesty in 2009 under Yar'adua but went to the Creek when Jonathan took over power because "he was not having access to the villa". The military went after him, bombed his camp and innocent people of communities in Warri, Delta state. The Press were "hailing him" and elevating him to a deity status. Sahara Reporters December 28, 2010 report tagged him "The New Face of Niger Delta Insurgency" and even granted him phone interview. However, in May 2011, just 5months after his interview, it was announced that Togo has been killed by military strike in his camp and his body buried by his footsoldiers. It was also reported that he ordered his boys to surrender at the point of death. The military however exhumed his body and handed the corpse to his family for burial.

The "deified" Togo that thought he was untouchable met his untimely death.

2. He Can't Afford To Repeat His 2009 Mistake:
In 2009 Tompolo as the leader of a militant group refused to accept amnesty and went on to attack oil installation. The military went against him bombing Gbaramatu Kingdom and villages in his Warri South West LGA "stronghold" including Kolokoloama, Okarankoko, Kurutie, and Oporoza. His so called "dreaded" Camp 5 was raized and taken over while he and his boys fled. With more bombing by the army under Yar'adua/GEJ, it was only a matter of time before he'd have been killed or captured. But, he surrendered 24hours before the amnesty deadline on October 2009. The surrender and repentance saved his life. Unfortunately, more than 300 people was killed and houses razed to ashes. It will amount to folly for Tompolo to repeat the event of 2009.

3. He Cannot Afford To Bring Death on Innocent Niger Deltans:
The action of Tompolo led to the death of over 300 majority Ijaws, and more than 3000 displaced in 2009. Whereas the dead are gone and the displaced are yet to recover, Tompolo grew into a billionaire(thanks to government's patronage). Any attack on security official by his boys will mean a declaration of war against the State, which will lead to loss of lives and properties of innocent people(like it was in 2009) and Tompolo will not escape it. The innocent won't continue to pay the price for what they have no hand in. We can also recall that the feeling of invincibility led to the death of both the innocent and the criminals in Odi, Bayelsa state in 1999.

4. Nobody is Invincible or Immortal:
As "weak" as Goodluck Jonathan was, he went after Okah and put him in prison. He also went after the "dreaded" General John Togo and sent him to his grave. How much more a determined President Muhammadu Buhari? He should also be aware that even the Great Isaac Adaka Boro that was fighting a legitimate struggle had to surrender to the FG after 12 days. How much more him that is being called to respond to criminal allegation. He should allow himself to be used as an experiment by the military.


It will be in the interest of Mr Tompolo to submit himself to court and avoid being arrested. If he's arrested, it will be very tough for him to obtain bail order. He shouldn't dare the State nor listen to the voices of sycophants and praise singers that are deifying him. Non of these sycophants' life is at stake. He is my brother as an Ijawman, and should yield to voice of reasoning.





May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

So this where 16 years of democracy has brought us....A CASE STUDY OF TOMPOLO?!

No man is greater than a state. But then again, if the number one citizen who under oath, swore to uphold and be guided by the constitution and rule of law could disobey same, what precedence is he setting?

ftc shaaa na una broda so make una comport am

Mr protection seeker do fast and apply for the new protection seeking pageant, you might win it so you can be officially known as Mr Protection Nigeria


A snake is always a snake it's scales will definitely fall off.. yours is weigh fallen that you look ppetty now, by seeking for political job on Nairaland LoL

Aufbauh:
@TonyeBarcanista, you deserve to be the Nigerian president because of your unflinching patriotism irrespective of your political and ethnic inclinations.

Wetin this Oga de talk?

Thanks for his educative piece


This is a reminder.

OP. Please do the needful

Times have changed and Tompolo has gone from petty militant to an established international legit businessman. No appeal to emotion can bully Tompolo to submit himself to courts he has no confidence in.

CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Mack3N:
What I don't understand is why the dss/efcc are trying to follow court process/go slow method to arrest tompolo as against their usual violation and arrest without court warrants!!

They should go to the "creeks" and bundle him as they always do....besides "a new sherif is in town"

The sheriff that couldn't distinguish between a 2015 and a 2016 budget

a man of villa now a man in Creek... hmmm life
a man that was all over Abuja calling all the shots is now in a beautiful hole called Creek.
him movement is now limited. no laulau upandan like before. that in itself it's a punishment

You can imagine,they should show the military might na,abi is tompolo different?


They want tompolo to submit himself to same court that dss flouted it's orders?

Ola17:
No man is greater than a state

Buhari disobeyed court orders

Tompolo refused to be arrested

Therefore, both men are greater than the state

The greatest mistake that Buhari will make is by bombing innocent Niger delta people in poor settlements under the guise of looking or fighting Tompolo. Remember America prediction

The sleeping non-Igbo SS has woken up from their slumber

America prediction about to come to reality


For states like Osun, they should beg Buhari to send a bill to the National Assembly to make True Federalism a law so that they can depend on their resources

Failure to do so, means no revenue to pay workers let alone to steal The sleeping non-Igbo SS has woken up from their slumber

Bros nothing go happen, even the ijaws ain't in support of Tompolo they've discovered the militants enriched themselves only.. Tompolo got no more sympathisers like in 2009...
