The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially invited former Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, over alleged naira abuse.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, in a statement on Monday.

MyNigeria reported that Tompolo was seen in a viral video getting sprayed naira notes at his birthday.

When the EFCC was notified of the incident, the anti-graft agency vowed to deal with the situation, saying nobody is above the law.

In his statement, Olukoyede stated that the incident of naira abuse involving Tompolo is a mere allegation for now.

He said, "We have invited Tompolo and the whole Nigerians know that. We also said nobody is above the law and nobody should go and condemn Tompolo for the allegation, it's a mere allegation for now and when he comes we will look at it.

"We have subjected the video to forensic analysis. We have to do that because you know these days too, people can impose...you know, we have subjected it, we have invited him. Not until we conclude the case, we cannot say Tompolo is guilty or not. We must give every Nigerian fair hearing and benefit of the doubts."
