An official order has been issued by the Federal High Court, Abuja for the arrest of ex Niger Delta militant, Tompolo in connection to a multi-billion naira fraud involving land contracts.
Ex militant, Tompolo
Earlier today, we reported it
here that an official order from the Federal High Court in Abuja was issued for the arrest of former Niger Delta militant, Government Epemupolo a.k.a Tompolo, who is being investigated by the EFCC for allegedly fraudulently selling a land for N13 billion to the last administration for the construction of a Nigerian Maritime University (NMU).
Tompolo was in December last year invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning but refused to honour their invitation claiming he was in court against the anti-graft agency.
The bank accounts of his companies, Mieka Divers Ltd and Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Ltd, used for the payment of the N13 billion has been reportedly frozen by the EFCC.
However, Tompolo has insisted that the land sale was transparently done and that any question for clarification should be directed to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
