Court sitting in Lagos to answer to charges of
corruption leveled against him by EFCC. He
however said he will only appear before the court
at the "appropriate time".
Speaking through his Media Adviser, Paul
Bebenimibo, today January 28th, Tompolo denied
reports that he wanted to commence war against
the Federal Government.
He said that having accepted amnesty in 2009, he
is not interested in getting into any kind of violent
act. He also refuted claims that he was behind
the recent three-day bombing of crude oil and gas
pipelines in Delta state.
“Tompolo has no reason to bomb pipelines
because of EFCC case, he knows he is
innocent. As he has stated in several
occasions, he will appear in court at the
appropriate time as his lawyers are working
towards that,” he said
On claims that he owns warships, Tompolo said
“it is the biggest lie of the year, as the
military is also aware of the boats and
pick-up vans he purchased in 2011 for the
surveillance of oil facilities as he was
working hand in hand with the military
then. Tompolo is a man of peace and he is
poised for the development of the coastal
Niger Delta region. He prays that this
matter be amicably resolved so that
everyone will know that he always put his
people above his person gains. And true to
his fears, these set of APC chieftains that
joined the party immediately after the
presidential election of 2015, were the first
people to accuse him of bombing the
pipelines to divert public attention".
