About two weeks after Justice Ibrahim Buba of the
Federal High Court, Lagos, issued a bench warrant for
the arrest of former Niger Delta militant, Government
Ekpemupolo (a.k.a Tompolo), the police have yet to get
the order from the bailiff.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole
told our correspondent on Monday that the police had yet
to arrest Tompolo because they have not been served the
court order.
“We have not received the court order on Tompolo till
now and that is why we have not effected his arrest,” she
explained.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had
charged Tompolo and a former Director-General of the
Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency,
Patrick Akpobolokemi, alongside eight others for N34bn
fraud.
Following his failure to appear in court on January 14,
2015, the presiding judge ordered the arrest of the ex-
militant leader to answer the 30 counts of alleged N34bn
fraud.
The judge issued a bench warrant against Tompolo and
ordered that he must be produced in court on February
8, 2016 “by all means to answer the charges.”
Justice Buba had earlier in chambers made an order
compelling Tompolo to unconditionally appear before him
to answer to the charges.
But while all the other accused, including Akpobolokemi
who came on crutches, were in court with their lawyers,
Tompolo was absent and did not send a representative.
When the matter was called, the EFCC prosecutor,
Festus Keyamo, informed the court that despite the fact
that the summons was issued in Lagos, the EFCC
successfully pasted it on the wall of the 1, Chief Agbanu
DDPA Extension, Warri, Delta State’s house of the
ex-warlord.
He furnished the court with a photographic evidence of
the pasting of the summons, noting that despite the
summons being served on Tompolo as directed by the
judge, the accused did not appear in court.
Keyamo applied for a warrant of arrest for Tompolo,
pursuant to Section 131 of the Administration of
Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
