Court issues arrest warrant for Tompolo

Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos has issued a warrant for the arrest of a former Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo (popularly known as Tompolo).

The judge said the warrant had to be issued after Mr. Ekpemupolo failed to respond to invitations to appear before the court.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is accusing Tompolo of corruption.
