If the court cannot order a bench warrant against buhari for always disobeying her rulings when it didn't favor him,she shouldn't effects same on lawless nigerians.A lawless fellow cannot arrest his accomplices.If the Efcc cannot arrest buhari for benefitting from the $2.1b arms with 2 jeeps,the anti-graft agency is a pro buhari.

Tompolo has entered one chance. Imagine the people that were fighting as militant, claiming they were fighting for their people but what now. An average Nigeria man is a thief, they can only claim to be full of integrity maybe when they have not assume power or when the opportunity is not presented to them.

How easily and quickly could these people have forgotten the struggle for the emancipation of Niger Delta, a cause they pursued violently at the start of Late President Yaraduaa's regime. .

Now that they have become overnight billionaires
under Jonathan ' s regime, they wantt to quietly enjoy their money abandoning the fight for their people. Of course, they are too rich to go back to the creeks. Thank God we voted wisely regardless of the current economic recession - we will be better off at the end.

See how you tell lies just because you want to paint gej as bad by all means...The Niger delta struggle started during obj regime and not yaraudua....Also note that it was ysradua that gave them amnesty not g3j.
I think comprehension is your problem here. He said they pursued the course violently at the start of Yaradua's regime and didn't say the struggle started during Yaradua's regime. In fact, it didn't start during Obj's as you stated- so not only did you not understand the poster's statement, you also lied on yours.

This will make the mother and father of all fights abi battles. Am convinced that Tompolo will not let me down. I pray he should put his feets firmly down and use whatever means available to him to fight this war between him and Buhari. It is time to give this fight once again the best so that at the end, atleast an everlasting result will surface and thereafter, if calm returns, better or if the much agitated separation come as a result of this fight, that will put final full stop to all this oppressive acts from Buhari himself, that will be much more better.
Finally, Tompolo should get himself, his followers fully prepared and man the river ends, including the creeks, noting too that the FG has acquired new fighter jets. Tompolo should know that his supporter in N/L will not forgive him if his plans towards this fight fails. While we are praying for his success because Buhari has nothing good for the south south other than the crude oil, he should be very ready to fight to finished. May God bless Tompolo, bless his co-fighter and his N/L friends and supporter since the full battle is now declared to kick off by Buhari.. Amen

Wait for Tompolo and Co. to come out to plead One Nigeria forever, and their sins shall be forgiven. They may even get amnesty payment. They will then go to buy land in Abuja - Abuja land artificially made to be very expensive. They build their new plush homes in Abuja while the mostly poor of the riverine areas are left behind there to wallow and die in oil-polluted environments.

Who on earth can think of buying land in the oil-producing areas of Nigeria?
This is Nigeria and how it is sustained so far.

DONSMITH123:
Ex-NIMASA boss, brothers face money laundering allegations

The Federal Government has filed fresh criminal charges against a former Niger Delta militant leader, Chief Government Oweize Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), involving about N22,765,900,000.

The new charge, filed last Friday at the Federal High Court in Lagos, borders on stealing, advanced fee fraud and money laundering.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed the 22-count charge against Tompolo and 12 others.

Justice Ibrahim Buba had, on January 14, ordered Tompolo’s arrest.

The judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest after he failed to report in court to face a prior criminal charge against him.

The judge had, a day earlier, summoned Tompolo, but the accused did not turn up.

EFCC’s lawyer Festus Keyamo said Tompolo ignored previous invitations by EFCC during investigation.

Others accused in the first charge include a former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Patrick Akpobolokemi; Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, Odimiri Electricals Limited, Kemi Engozu, Boloboere Property and Estate Limited, Rex Elem, Destre Consult Limited, Gregory Mbonu and Captain Warredi Enisuoh.

EFCC, in the 40-count charge, said the suspects allegedly diverted N34 billion, which accrued from the public private partnership agreement between NIMASA and Global West Vessel Specialist Limited for personal use.

The alleged offence contravenes Section 15 (1) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act 2012 and punishable under Section 15(3) of the same Act.

In the 22-count charge, Tompolo will face trial along with Akpobolokemi, whose four brothers – Victor, Nobert, Emmanuel and Clement – said to be at large, allegedly aided the suspects to commit the fraud.

The other suspects are Kime Engozu, Josephine Otuaga, Rita Uruakpa and Pondi Kestin as well as seven companies – Mieka Dive Training Institute Ltd/GTE, Oyeinteke Global Network Ltd, Wabod Global Resources Ltd, Boloboere Properties Estate Ltd, Gokaid Marine Oil and Gas Ltd, Muhaabix Global Services Ltd and Watershed Associated Resources.

They were accused of converting various sums running into over N22.7bn allegedly stolen from NIMASA to their personal use between December 12, 2014 and April 10, 2015.

They were also accused of defrauding the Federal Government by making representations, which they knew to be false.

EFCC said the alleged offences contravene Section 8 (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1 (3)of the same Act.

The suspects also allegedly violated various sections of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012, including its sections 15(3) and 18(a) and are liable to punishment under Section 15(3) of the same Act, the commission said.

They were said to be liable to punishment under Section 1 (2) (c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap. M17, Laws of the Federation, 2004.

In count two, the EFCC alleged that the suspects “between the 2nd day of December, 2014 and 10th April,2015 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this court, with intent to defraud, induced the Federal Government to deliver to you, the aggregate sum of N11, 900,000,000.00 by falsely pretending to the Federal Government that all that land and its appurtenances lying, being and situate at Mieka Dive Training Institute, Kurutie, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, to be acquired by NIMASA for the temporary Campus of the Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Warri South-West Local Government Area, is free from any encumbrances, which representation you knew to be false, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to section (1) (b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under section 1 (3)of the same Act.”
