Why Hasn't EFCC Arrested Tompolo...? by Lvlink(f): 2:07pm On Jan 08, 2016
Its been weeks now ever since EFCC boasted of declaring Tompolo wanted, and vowed to arrest him.

Please I just want to know, why hasn't the EFCC arrested him or even declare him wanted?


I thought Buhari is a fearless General, and a Demi god every Zombie worships?



Please don't tell me he is afraid of Tompolo!

You want Magu to send his boys to their untimely death.Any EFCC operative stupid enough to attempt to arrest Tompolo committed suicide.EFCC does not have the military capacity to go after Tompolo.If you want to fight Tompolo you need an army.

please tell Buhari to hasten up. I cant wait to see Tompolo arrested. We have seen how the EFCC was quick in arresting many Nigerians including Olisa Metu of PDP. Or is Tompolo different from them?

Please don't tell me a whole General like Buhari is afraid of small Tompolo!

Once upon a time in 2007, EFCC came to Nweke street, Aba, the resident of Orji Kalu's mother with 50 operatives by 1 am in the night but couldn't arrest her because her Bakassi Boys engaged them throughout the night.

The following morning, Kalu accused Obasanjo and EFCC of attempted abduction and till this day, the EFCC is yet to effect the arrest for national peace.

May be the EFCC wants to apply the doctrine and concept of “nolle prosequi” as inserted into the Nigerian Constitution.

This was the way you were ranting before presidential election: you even said that Kanu cannot be arrested: he is a ghost. What happened so far after his arrest.

Buhari is a President with action unlike Otueke dullard: Tompolo will soon be caught.

I Am Not On The Run - Tompolo Replies EFCC by
bohlah (13175) on: 13 Dec 15, 07

Former Niger-Delta militant commander, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has debunked media reports that he failed to respond to an invitation extended to him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The EFCC had on Thursday given the repentant militant leader, one week to appear before the Commission on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos or risk being declared wanted.

In a letter from the EFCC, the Commission says it is investigating Tompolo for unclear dealings involving the sale of parcels of land worth about N13bn to the federal government under the last administration.

But in a statement on Saturday, Tompolo refuted reports of his invitation by the EFCC, alleging that he was only being witch-hunted because he bluntly refused to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as well as to support their Governorship candidate in Bayelsa State.

According to him, “On the November 24th 2015, I was informed at about 4 p.m. that a letter of invitation had been dropped at my home in Warri, inviting me to EFCC’s office in Lagos by 10 a.m. on the 25th of November 2015. I responded by a letter from my Solicitors, Messrs. Jakpa, Edoge & Co. The letter dated November 25th 2015 was received by one Uduak Ouot, a staff of EFCC, on the 3rd of December 2015, after several attempts to deliver. I have proof of delivery from the courier company.”

The ex-militant leader said he was surprised that the EFCC, which he described as “an otherwise reputable institution,” lied to Nigerians. He added that his lawyer’s letter “indicated I am already in court with the EFCC in
Suit No: FHC/W/CS/152/2015. EFCC had been served with the court processes since 20th of October 2015 but they refused to attend court on several occasions, or to file any court papers, only to appear for the first time on 30th November 2015 without filing anycourt papers. They even asked for the matter to be adjourned to 17th December 2015, the date they are now inviting me to appear before them.”

He stated that the anti-corruption agency invited him two months after he had sued them. He said he had informed the EFCC of his readiness to honor their invitation once the court rules on his own suit, adding that the agency seemed bent on harassing him through their “reminder of 9th December 2015,
which was leaked to the media on the 10th of December 2015, the
same day as it was delivered to my house in Warri.”

Tompolo noted that, “As a full blooded Ijaw man and citizen of Nigeria, I have done everything in my power to follow the laws of Nigeria. Since the amnesty declared in 2009 by [the] late President Yar’Adua I have strained myself to ensure that we all live in peace in this country. Those who think they can
push us to war must rethink the necessity of such a war.

“How can a law-abiding Government declare a man wanted who is in the law courts with them?“They froze our business accounts sinceAugust 4th 2015, but we have not quarreled with anybody. We sued them to court, they refused to come to court. Now they are threatening to declare me wanted.

“I know why they are after me. It is not the alleged multi-billion naira property transaction. After all, it went through due process and was approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC). And as such if there are any questions to answer, it is the people at the FEC, Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP),
Federal Ministry of Lands and Survey, Federal Ministry of Transport, NIMASA, etc who approved the transaction that should be answering such questions.

“The real reason this All Progressive Congress (APC)-led Government is after me is that I bluntly refused to join APC and to support their Governorship candidate in Bayelsa State. We cannot all be in APC. Our people have always believed in the Nigerian project and had always hoped to join hands with this
administration to move this project forward, but the conditions being attached are not acceptable. I insist on believing in the Nigerian project unconditionally!
“We will continue to pursue our court case. The threat to declare me wanted is an unnecessary attempt to heat up the polity. I will go about my daily business, [as] usual.


“Finally, let me say this: if people can come from Sokoto, Katsina or Lagos to campaign in Bayelsa, why can’t I, a full-blooded Ijaw man, go to my Bayelsa to campaign? I will only add this: let the will of the people of Bayelsa prevail.
Nobody should attempt to force the outcome of the election. We have
kept faith with our promise to Nigeria, we expect no less from this country. So if anyone tells you that Tompolo is on the run, tell him Tompolo is not going anywhere.”

The High Chief is expected to appear at the EFCC training room on Thursday, December 17.

not exactly sir. Just that the level of hypocrisy in this APC led government is shockingly shocking!

Check my records and you will discover I was a Pro-Buhari. But along the line, I discovered that he was the 'BIGGEST FRAUD' ever sold to Nigerians!

So since Buhari is bent on arresting all the arrestables, I expects him not to waste time in arresting Tompolo also!

Well, let us not speculate about the reasons too much.

Tompolo is not someone you rush into his house to arrest just because the Government gave you an EFCC Vest, some Kalashnikovs and you think you are backed up by the DSS bearing some IMI Tar-21s, so you are some super hero. There are 3 major separate reasons why you should not rush into stupid bravey:

1.That would be a bad idea.

2. That would be a very bad idea.

3. That would be a very very fu^cking bad idea.

Buhari knows this fact. We all know this fact. You must ''respect'' a man to the extent of what risk or strengths he has until you have neutralized the risks. So f you are Buhari or EFCC boss, you will just rush into his place to arrest him? Really?

Tompolo might not be able to face the Nigerian Army (they have more manpower, arms and munitions) , but he is no walk over. I know because just like Tompolo, I am proudly Ijaw, we are naturally feudal in culture and tradition.

I can't smell the yeye oo! He is following the rule of law. If he does otherwise, wailers will start! Besides there is new evidence that the money in question was even small considering the fact that he was pressured (read begged) to relinquish his property to be used or rather bought over by NIMASA. Case may have been dropped tactically!
