Tompolo Still on the Run, Begins Fasting & Prayer from Hiding

Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has begun fasting and prayers in his hideout for God’s intervention in his present travails - fraud cases with the EFCC.

Tompolo went underground in January following a bench warrant issued for his arrest over fraud charges by a Federal High Court in Lagos, which ordered the confiscation of some of his assets.

EFCC and the Police subsequently declared him wanted. Since then, the security agencies have been on his trail, trying to locate and smoke him out of his hideout.

But the ex-militant leader, an evangelist and adherent of the Amasiekumor deity of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State, has reportedly become more spiritual.


A source told Vanguard that, “Yes, he has gone into fasting and prayers because he knows that it is only God and not any human being that can deliver him from his present problems, planned by his enemies to undo him.”

The source did not disclose when exactly he started the fasting and prayer.

When contacted, Media Adviser and Consultant to Tompolo, Mr. Paul Bebenimibo, who corroborated the story, said: “When one is in travail, which is his case, you will take your case to God and that is what he has done. I can confirm to you that Tompolo is presently on fasting and prayers to God so that He will intervene because he knows that He is a God of justice and will fight for him because he is innocent.”
