We have been briefed by the family members
and friends of the following persons who were
kidnapped, tortured and nearly killed (along
with some journalists) by the hirelings of one
Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) on
Sunday, November 16, 2014, in Delta State:

1.) Mr. Eyengho B. Samuel 2.) Tokunbor
Oluwaleye 3.) Kelvin Tuduo 4.) Ekpen 5.)
Edema Eburajolor 6.) Otos Lemun and 7.) Dolor
Emmanuel.

The facts are that the aforementioned boys
(hereinafter referred to as “the seven victims”),
together with some journalists from different
media houses went to Ogidingben in Delta State
on Sunday, November 16, 2014, to get first-
hand coverage of the crises leading to the
cancellation of the commissioning of the EPZ
Project by President Jonathan two days earlier.

Recall that I raised an alarm last week about the
threat by Tompolo in respect of the
commissioning of the project by the President.
True to the alarm, the President called off the
commissioning because of the threat by
Tompolo.

When leaving the venue, the journalists were
joined on the boat by the seven victims, three of
whom were given a free ride, one was a boat
driver and three were from the company that
owns the boat.

On their way from Ogidingben after their
assignments, the seven victims and the
journalists were stopped in their boats and
blocked by more than ten other boats loaded
with fierce-looking and armed hooligans around
an area called Tebujo, which is also near an
area called Opuraja. The seven victims and the
journalists were then evacuated from their boat
into one of the boats of the hooligans. Along the
line, Tompolo called and spoke with one of the
journalists and he confirmed that he sent the
hooligans to accost them and that they should
“co-operate” with his boys.

The seven victims and the journalists were then
taken to Tompolo’s house in Opuraja where
they were beaten to pulp by Tompolo’s boys.
The cameras of the journalists were all seized
and the memory cards were removed so that
they could not show what they went to cover.

Unknown to them however, the journalists all
had back-ups of their materials in their external
hard disks which Tompolo’s boys did not see
and seize.

It was a near-death experience for all the victims
and in particular for Mr. Tokunbor Oluwaleye
who is suffering from internal bleeding and is in
a critical condition till today. It took the
intervention of Naval and Army personnel in the
area for the victims and journalists to be rescued from the hands of Tompolo’s boys later that evening.

Sirs, your failure to simply carry out your
statutory duties of arrest, investigation and
prosecution of Tompolo for his various acts of
lawlessness is now a national and an
international embarrassment to the Government of President Goodluck Jonathan. It is disgusting to all men of normal minds to see a private citizen strutting all over the place, threatening lives, abducting citizens, (perhaps silently killing voiceless persons) and you hide your heads in the sand. Yet, he moves about with nearly a whole platoon of Army and security personnel that even a serving Governor cannot get. What is going on?

Recall that I wrote a complaint of the open
threat to my life by the same individual nearly
two weeks ago, yet you have not even done as little as write me an acknowledgment letter. It is such a shame. This unhealthy romance between government officials in high places and this individual raises strong suspicion over, perhaps, some criminal dalliance in relation to shady deals. I am confident that time will tell us better.

There is no better way to see this. But I have
decided that enough is enough.

TAKE NOTICE that if within 72 hours of the
receipt of this petition you fail, refuse and/or
neglect to invite/arrest, investigate and perhaps
prosecute Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (alias
Tompolo) for the threat to my life and the
attempted murder of these seven victims and
the journalists, I will be proceeding to court to
compel you to do your duties under the law.
I would want you to come and tell the court what is tying your hands against Tompolo.

The ball is in your court.

Yours most trusted,
FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

Why is the FG/Jonathan scared of a PRIVATE citizen?? That is the big question!

later

Nigeria has never had it this bad

President Jonathan is the worst thing that ever happen to Nigeria. Criminals, crooks and hooligans have more power over right living citizen.

He should call his dogs to order. Any attempt to make this country burn with his cluelessness, GEJ should realise that he will be used as the light stick.

Wonderlands:
tompolo is like a demigod, they're all afraid of him, he is above the law.

No our president is just clueless

The fear of Tompolo is the beginning of Jonathan's cowardice.

Tompolo for president 2015!

We need proof.
