Nigerians React as Tompolo Comes Out of Hiding after 6-Years

The Former Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo a.k.a Tompolo is trending on Twitter right now after coming out of hiding.

Tompolo, led the disbanded Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) then, went into hiding after President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn-in in 2015.

In 2016, the government declared him wanted for ignoring two bench warrants issued against him by the  Federal High Court in Lagos, where he was charged with N45.9bn fraud.

Three years later, the court dismissed all the charges against Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, a company linked to the former Niger Delta militant leader.

Despite decision by the court to wave the charges, Tompolo remained in hiding until October 19, 2020, when he made first  appearance at the Egbesu Shrine in his Oporoza country home in Gbaramatu, Delta State.

Nigerians took to Twitter to express their surprise with many left in awe if Tompolo’s mysterious appearance is a good sign for the ongoing #EndSARS campaign.
