APC Chieftain Tells EFCC To Declare Tompolo Wanted

Bodi a member of APC Elders Forum in Bayelsa, over the weekend, said that Tompolo was deceiving himself by blaming former Bayelsa state governor, Timipre Sylva and other chieftains of the party for his ordeal, Daily Post reports.

He said: “All what Tompolo has been saying about Timipre Sylva and leadership of the APC in Bayelsa state is fraud,” he said. For Tompolo to accuse Sylva and APC leaders in the state of orchestrating pipeline vandalism in Delta is false.”

The APC chieftain added that if Tompolo refuses to submit himself the commission should declare him wanted.

In another development, the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has warned President Muhammadu Buhari and the federal government against witch-hunting Tompolo, who has been charged with theft and money laundering.
According to the group, the prosecution of Tompolo, which is a part of Buhari’s anti-corruption war, is singling out their ethnic group.
