The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday declared wanted a former Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.
The EFCC declared Tompolo wanted via an advertorial.
The advertorial was signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren.
The EFCC said the move became imperative following two bench warrants issued against Tompolo by a Federal High Court in Lagos, where he has been charged with fraud to the tune of N45.9 billion.
Tompolo was described as a 47-year-old, dark-complexioned man from Okerenkoko, Gbaramotu Kingdom in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State.
His address was given as 1, Chief Agbanu Street, DDPA Extension, Warri, Delta State.
He is said to speak both Izon and English languages.
The advertorial reads in part, “The general public is hereby notified that Government Ekpemupolo (a.k.a. Tompolo), whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in relation to the offence of conspiracy and illegal diversion of the sum of N34,000,000,000.00 and N11,900,000,000.00 belonging to the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.”
