The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase on Wednesday, said that his men have been ordered to arrest ex-Niger Delta militant leader Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, who is on the wanted list of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The former Niger Delta warlord is wanted in connection with a N45.9b fraud in the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA.
Arase told newsmen in Abuja that it is the duty of the police to arrest Tompolo.
“We are still looking for Tompolo. The commissioners of police in Delta, Rivers and all those areas have been given the warrant for the arrest so that they could carry out the arrest.
“The EFCC has declared him wanted and you know the court has issued a warrant of arrest. So, it is the duty of the EFCC to publish him as a wanted person and it is our duty to ensure the arrest," he said.
