Akpobolokemi has been charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) along with former militant, Government “Tompolo” Ekpemupolo.
The duo are alleged to have stolen the sums of $108.7 million N2.2 billion found to be the property of NIMASA.
Tompolo however failed to appear before the court after previously ignoring the invitation of the EFCC on the matter.
