Held In Awe, Perceived As Villain: Has Nigeria Abandoned Search For Tompolo? by RipplesNigeria: 12:02pm On Jul 25, 2017
He once ruled the creeks of the Niger Delta. Feared and dreaded, his name struck terror and sent chill down the spines of both friends and foes. Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, a former militant leader is on the run. Today, nearly 18 months after, he is Nigeria’s most wanted fugitive.

Tompolo was on February 11, 2016, declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over his failure to appear in court to defend himself of corruption charges, allegedly running into several billions of Naira.

Since his disappearance, not much has been heard about his whereabouts except for his earlier hunt by soldiers and the mentioning of his matter in courtrooms. One of such occasions was the recent Lagos Appeal Court judgment that sanctioned the bench warrant issued against him by a Federal High Court in Lagos.

Tompolo had appealed the ruling of the Lagos Federal High Court presided over by Justice Ibrahim Buba which ordered a bench warrant against him and subsequently led EFCC to declare him wanted. The dismissal of Tompolo’s prayers to set aside the warrant of arrest placed on him, means the former warlord remains a fugitive and the country’s number one enemy.

However, in the midst of all these, questions agitating the minds of many is where really is Tompolo? Are there genuine efforts to have him arrested and will he ever be caught?
