Tompolo not above the law, will answer questions on naira abuse - EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said former Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo, is not above the law, adding that he has questions to answer concerning an alleged naira abuse.

This was after a video showed a man spraying him N1,000 notes during his 54th birthday celebration.

The video set tongues wagging, as many netizens wondered if the EFCC would have the boldness to arrest Tompolo the same way they did to other Nigerians accused of abusing the naira.

Najeeb Bello who tweets on X.com as #NejeebBello wrote, “Once e reach their Oga and him friends, “Eee Eff See See” go turn “Eee Eff Blind Blind”. No be just Tompolo, but what of these Folawiyo Eleganza sons wey record and publish video of themselves dey abuse Naira?”

#OurFavOnlineDoc also called out the agency, saying, “Here is Tompolo mutilating the Naira. I know the eyes of that your eagle will suddenly go blind but I am bringing this to your attention publicly so the whole world will see you are a shameless agency with double standards.”

Meek Rapheal tweeting as #MeekRapheal similarly wrote, “Okoya’s son is still working freely and you expect them go for Tompolo, their laws is only effective when the offender is not from the rich class, same with every security agency in Nigeria none is truly for the masses.”

In response to the queries, the EFCC said, "Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!"
