While Ex-Niger Delta
militant, Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a. Tompolo were expected in court, his co-accused,
including a former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and
Safety Agency, Patrick Akpobolokemi, were present in court, only Tompolo failed
to appear.
Tompolo, was to answer a
forty-count of alleged N13bn fraud levelled against him by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission.
The EFCC had explained that
it rearrested ex-NIMASA DG, Akpobolokemi after he was granted bail by a competent
court because of fresh N34 billion fraud allegations against him.
The commission had asked
Tompolo to appear on December 17, 2015 for questioning in respect of the N13
billion land acquisition controversy for Nigerian Maritime University, NMU in
Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State, with a threat to declare
him wanted should he fail to appear.
