EFCC invites ex-militant over alleged N13bn fraud, may be declared wanted

He is expected to appear at the EFCC training room on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos on Thursday, December 17.

 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has given former Niger Delta militant, Mr Government Ekpemupolo popularly known as 'Tompolo' one week ultimatum to appear before the Commission else he would be declared wanted.

According to a letter from the EFCC and obtained by Channels TV, the anti-graft agency said it is investigating Tompolo for unclear dealings involving the sale of parcels of land worth about 13 billion naira to the federal government under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Report said Tompolo had failed to appear before the Commission in November when he was invited for a similar matter by the Head of Operations at the EFCC, Iliasu Kwabai. He did not also acknowledge the receipt of the invitation.
