to many Nigerians, ex- militant leader and General Officer Commanding, GOC, of the Niger Delta struggle, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, met with President Muhammadu Buhari soon after his 2015 victory in Abuja.
Just as Tompolo described the criminal charges against him as political, so militants and some rights groups in the region believe and they have remained vehement in demanding that government drop the charges for enduring peace to prevail. He made Kurutie, his father’s hometown and temporal site of NMU, Okerenkoko, to become the little London of Warri South-West Local Government Area with imposing structures in the creek community.
Regarding his whereabouts, this paper learned that he relocated to his Gbaramatu Kingdom home base from Warri when security agents started stalking him and had remained there ever since. However, some security agents are sympathetic to his cause for the region and sent messages through intermediaries that he should just stay calm wherever he is.
Asked to mention the criminal cases Tompolo handled while underground, the militant leader simply said, “You are a journalist; find out, he has helped to tackle many kidnapping, destruction of crude oil facilities and assassinations. It is because of his nationalistic role to assist security agents, especially in crude oil facilities destruction cases, that security agents, who know him, are not ready to sacrifice him.
A dependable military source hinted, “That visit to President Buhari in 2015 was facilitated by a former chairman of the Board of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Administration Agency, NIMASA, Col Agbu Kefas and one-time Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe. It was to work with the government because of his wealth of experience in the Niger Delta region, as peace is a prerequisite for good governance.
