Tompolo
Former
militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has reacted to
the hefty allegations made by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers earlier
today.
In an exclusive chat with Vanguard on Monday, a
militant group, Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, (RNDA), said it knows the
whereabouts of fugitive ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo,
a.k.a Tompolo.
The Niger Delata militant group led by the self-styled “Major
General” Johnmark Ezonebi, also expressed its readiness to guide
security agents to his hideout in the creeks of the oil rich region.
In a swift reaction to the alleged report, the former militant
leader, Tompolo who accused by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, of
being behind a rival militant group, Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), and
sponsoring violence in the region, rebutted the charge.
Speaking through his media consultant, Paul Bebenimibo, he said
that he would never destroy pipelines, having accepted amnesty and once
protected them in a contractual agreement with government.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored these media statements by
these so-called avengers and reformed avengers because it is not a new
tactics by these groups in bringing Tompolo’s name to whatever thing
that happens in the Niger Delta region because of his legal battle with
the government.
“Let it be stated at this point that Tompolo is not the only
person having legal issues with the present government. Let us also
state here that these accusations do not take away the fact that our
dear country is in a crossroad.
“We wish to reiterate our earlier stand that nothing will make
Tompolo to resort to destruction of oil facilities he once protected in a
contractual arrangement. Those that have ears let them hear,” he asserted.
