Government Ekpemupolo popularly known as Tompolo as said that Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari will not know peace if the Niger Delta region knows no peace.
Tompolo who was was reacting to allegations that he attacked oil installations in Warri area of Delta state made this threat in a statement issued by his media aide, Paul Bebenimibo.
The influential Niger Delta warlord is being investigated by the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for his alleged involvement in N13 Billion Land Scam. He had shunned court invitation twice.
His statement reads in parts: “Well, I am sure this is what President Buhari is looking for. He should allow the people of the Niger Delta Region to know peace, otherwise he will not know peace as well,”
Reacting to allegations that he was responsible for bombing oil installations in Warri, he said: “I am not responsible for the attack and I condemn it as a dastardly act. I am aware that some persons might want to destroy oil installations and link it with me that was why I said before time that I have nothing to do with it.
“I could not have gone ahead to carry out such action knowing that every finger will be pointed at me because of my case with the Federal Government,” he added.
Tompolo might be on a collision course with the federal government over his statement.
