The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday invited
former Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemupolo, also known as
Tompolo, over alleged N13 billion Nigerian Maritime Administration and
Safety Agency (NIMASA) university land scam.
The anti-graft agency gave Tompolo one week to appear before it at
its office on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos or risk being declared wanted.
In a letter to the ex-militant, the Commission said it was
investigating Tompolo for unclear dealings involving the sale of parcels
of land worth about N13 billion to the federal government under the
last administration.
He is expected to appear at the EFCC training room on Thursday November 17.
A similar invitation was extended to Tompolo in November by the Head
of Operations at the EFCC, Iliasu Kwabai but the ex-militant failed to
appear and no correspondence was received from him

SHIPS & PORTS DAILY had exclusively
reported in its edition of Monday December 7, 2015 that EFCC had frozen
the bank accounts of Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Limited
(GWVSNL). The company, reportedly owned by Tompolo, signed a 10-year
maritime security contract with the Nigerian Maritime Administration and
Safety Agency (NIMASA) in 2011. Under the terms of the contract, it is
expected to provide platforms to be used for patrolling the nation’s
waterways by the Nigerian Navy and other security operatives.
Tompolo’s associate and former Director-General of NIMASA, Patrick
Akpobolokemi, is currently being prosecuted along with nine others at
the Federal High Court, Lagos on criminal charges bordering on stealing
and fraud.
Akpobolokemi’s bank accounts, his wife’s, Beauty, and four brothers –
Clement Akpobolokemi, Stephen Akpobolokemi, Julius Akpobolokemi and
Victor Akpobolokemi – have also been frozen by the anti-graft agency.
