EFCC Freezes Tompolo’s N3billion Account by deantimes(op): 11:51am On Jun 15, 2016
THE EFCC has frozen a bank account belonging to a wanted ex-militant, Government Ekemupolo, who is popularly known as Tompolo.


The anti-graft agency found N3bn in the account and had frozen it pending outcome of court processes.


An operative of the anti-graft agency, who spoke to Punch on condition of anonymity, said: "During investigations into the fraud at NIMASA (Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency), we traced about N3bn to a bank account, which is owned by Tompolo.


“The account has since been frozen in accordance with Section 34 (1) of the EFCC Act 2004 which empowers the commission to freeze any account suspected of being used for financial crimes.”


Tompolo, who has been on the run since February, was arraigned in absentia with the ex-DG of NIMASA, Mr. Patrick Akpobolokemi, and the latter’s six brothers on April 18, 2016, for N47.7bn fraud.

Re: EFCC Freezes Tompolo’s N3billion Account by Davvymavvy:
Heartless and greedy miscreants turned NigerDelta struggle to a money making venture to the detriment of social liberation, economic improvement and infrastructural decay the struggle aimed to achieve. Asari said he was fighting for Nigerdeltans only for him to collect his own share and travelled to a neighbouring country to establish a university, all his investments are far away from the South, this same unfortunate situation has other warlords as its unfortunate candidates. Where is the supposed liberation they said they were clamouring for? Now, the new tools of political instability hiding under the facade of ND struggle are again negotiating their own share. I pray ND would not self-destruct

Let the music play on. This whopping amount could have prevented many of the road mishaps along Enugu - Onitsha dilapidated road or the East-West road or even Otueke road or even 2nd niger bridge. Please, after the regge, play the blues too

3bn what? Why won't the Niger Delta Avengers be as serious as hell? Militancy pays far more than politics- but only in Nigeria.

Tomolo has 3 Billion in one of his accounts and some of the dumb thugs supporting him here on Nairaland are rushing to collect Buhari's 5K for unemployed graduates.

Just Negodu!

If Tpolo can rake in this amount, it's no wonder (in their region) everybody wants to be a militant.
