N34bn fraud: Tompolo asks court to vacate arrest warrant

An ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has asked with Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos to set aside the warrant of arrest issued against him.

Justice Buba had on January 14 issued a bench warrant against Tompolo and ordered his arrest for failing to honour a court summons dated January 12 in respect of a 40-count of alleged N34bn fraud levelled against him and nine others by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
On January 14, while all his co-accused persons were in court with their lawyers, Tompolo was absent and was not represented by any lawyer.
