Tompolo denies giving ultimatum to Buhari on troops withdrawal

Ex-Militant leader in the Niger Delta region, High
Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) has
denied giving President Muhammadu Buhari
ultimatum to withdraw military from the Niger
Delta region, otherwise he will wreak havoc on oil
pipelines.
Media Adviser and Consultant to Tompolo,
Comrade Paul Bebenimibo said in a press release
made available to journalists in Warri that “It has
come to our notice that some mischief makers
have made a publication in the name of High
Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo,
which is trending in the social media, that he has
given few days to President Muhammadu Buhari
to withdrew military from the Niger Delta region,
otherwise he is going to blow up oil pipelines.
“We wish to state categorically that the said
publication is not from Tompolo, rather it is the
work of those that have sworn to kill him by all
means, but Jehovah God forbid. Tompolo has
stated before now, that he will not resort to
violence or destroy oil facilities because of the
issue he is having with the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC,” he said.
According to him, no amount of provocation and
persecution can make the repentant militant
leader to destroy the country that he has helped
to build over the years.
He added that “Tomoplo will discretionally
continue to pursue his course legally. It is his
prayer for those that are pushing for his death to
have a re-think as he believes fervently in Jehovah
God who sees the heart of every human being,
that he has no evil intention against Nigeria or
any individual, therefore he will come out
stronger in the face of these temptations and
trials.”
