Former creek warrior, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, better known as Tompolo has approached the Federal High Court in Lagos seeking an order restraining the Federal Government and its agencies from further proceeding with the N45.9bn fraud charges filed against him.
Tompolo, through his lawyer, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, is contending that sections 221 and 306 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA 2015, which prohibits him from seeking a stay of proceedings in his trial, are infringing on his constitutional rights to fair hearing.

The defendants in the suit are the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, the Chief of Naval Staff, CNS and the Chief of Air Staff, CAS.

He is praying the court to nullify sections 221 and 306 of the ACJA and restrain the Federal Government, the EFCC and the IGP from deploying those sections of the law against him.

Adegboruwa argued that sections 221 and 306 are in conflict with Section 36 of the Constitution which guarantees the right to fair hearing of his client.

I see corruption fighting back

For to Tompolo to resort to court of law means that Nigeria under PMB is work in progress which sons of hate and disciples of corruption might not know, if it were to be in the past, almight Tompolo would have run to the creek to wreck havoc on oil installation and a cowardice Government running after him inducements in the name of amnesty.

he dare not appear in court

upon learning that the Federal Government Of Nigeria, EFCC, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Chief of Air Staff (CAS) & Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) are the defendants testify to the claim that tompolo accusations a mere joke

this also means that the era of feeling/being above the law is a thing of the past

tompolo is now listening to sane and ethical advice that will do him good

Thought this guy was a fearless god who at one time forbade the FG from commissioning a project (an Export Processing Zone) without recourse to his demands and the commissioning was instantly put on hold to give room for consultations with him. Today, I don't see any difference between him and a scared little cute mouse.

How things #Change.

The noose is getting tighter. This guy has been evading arrest for the past seven weeks; hidding in the mosquito infested creeks of the Delta.

Tompolo, you better come out of your hidding and answer the case of the land sales scam leveld against by the EFCC. Buhari no dey look Uche face. I only pity my Igbo brothers that have been egging you on all this while

the moment he shows up in court

DSS will handle him

i expect protests then

Buhari has successfully cliped his wings and that of other militants. He is now a paper weight. My Igbo brothers are the only one egging him on, even his people in Delta state like Itse Sagay; Frank Kokori; and Festus Keyamo, who is the EFCC counsel in the case, have all told him to give himself up. It is only my Umunna brothers that are still supporting him

I hope nigeria will not b used as next super story movie by wale Adenuga

After reaffirming that he is Tompolo when I picked his call, he went straight to the point by informing me that he wishes to inform me that he and his ‘boys’ will kill me by beating me to death or shooting me anywhere they can find me. And that the hunt for me is on.

“His exact words in pidgin English was ‘we dey look for you. Anywhere we see you, whether for Lagos or Abuja or Warri, we go beat you die or we go shoot you.’

Now the chicken dey hide for the creeks

Fair hearing

The distractions in this Buhari's govt is something else, Tompolo

Come out from your sinkhole now. Coward tompolo.

As for rogue lawyer Ebun, he is simply collecting his own share of the looted fund legally.

Good one!

Buhari you never see anything
