N13bn Fraud: Justice Ibrahim Issues Bench Warrant for Tompolo Arrest

Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo

Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has snubbed the order of a Federal High Court in Lagos to unconditionally appear Wednesday to answer a 40-count of alleged N13bn fraud levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

While all 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.

Justice Ibrahim Buba has consequently issued a bench warrant on Tompolo and ordered the police to produce him in court by all means.
