Tompolo Gets IV From EFCC Over Land Fraud...

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has summoned a former militant leader in the Niger Delta, Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, over an allegation of fraud relating to the land acquired for the establishment of the Maritime University in Okerenkoko of Delta State.

EFCC’s letter of invitation asked Ekpemupolo to appear at the Lagos office of the anti-graft agency on December 17.

The letter dated December 9, 2015 was signed by Head of Operations of the Lagos office of the commission, Mr. Iliyasu Kwarbai.

The letter with reference number, CR:3000/EFCC/lS/CTGI/TF/STF/VOl.8/174 was titled, ‘Investigation Activities: Letter of Invitation.’

It read in part, “We refer to our letter no.CR:3000/EFCC/CTGI/TF/STF/VOL./472 dated 18th November, 2015 which was acknowledged in your house, but you did not report.

“In view of the above, you are reminded to kindly report for the interview as rescheduled below:

“Date: 17th December, 2015. Time: 1000hrs.

“Your cooperation in this regard is solicited, please.”

Sources said Ekpemupolo is being investigated over the payment of about N13bn purportedly paid to him by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency for the land acquired for the Maritime University.
