The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, headed by Ibrahim Magu, no doubt, wants corruption and all those associated with it arrested and prosecuted.
On Thursday, February 10, 2016, the anti graft agency had former President Goodluck Jonathan’s ADC, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe, detained. Adegbe’s arrest and detention was in connection with the scandalous $2.2 billion arms procurement deal, now popularly known as Dasukigate.
The erstwhile ADC was undergoing a National Defence College course in the United Kingdom, from where he was recalled. He arrived Nigeria on Wednesday and was immediately arrested, taken to the Mogadishu Cantonment where he was interrogated by some senior officers before being handed over to the EFCC where he’s still being detained, alongside seven other Army officers whose names also featured in Dasukigate.
Same day, EFCC equally declared repentant Niger Delta militant, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, wanted. Tompolo had refused to turn himself in even after two warrants had been issued against him by the Federal High Court in Lagos as well as series of invitation extended to him by EFCC to respond to allegations bordering on over N45.9 billion fraud.
Said to be 47 years of age, dark complexioned and from Gbaramotu Kingdom in Warri South-West LGA of Delta State, his last known address was I, Chief Agbamu Street, DDPA Extension, Warri. Tompolo speaks English and Izon and was dreaded while Obasanjo and Yar’Adua held sway as Nigeria’s leaders. Under Jonathan however, he became a tin god, pocketing multi billion contracts from NIMASA and co. But now, the table has turned and the man who loves Kapol caps the way monkeys love banana has become a fugitive. Running and running from the law.
