'Wanted' Tompolo begins fasting, prayers over EFCC charges

Former militant leader Government Ekpemukpolo, alias Tompolo has begun fasting and prayers in his hideout as he seeks for God's divine intervention in his present travails .

According to Vanguard, Tompolo who went underground in January following a bench warrant issued for his arrest by a Federal High Court in Lagos was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Police. He has now turned to God in his hideout.

Media Adviser and Consultant to Tompolo, Paul Bebenimibo, who confirmed this ,told Vanguard 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.

Tompolo approached a Federal High Court few weeks back to commence legal action to restrain the Federal Government from proceeding with the N45.9 billion fraud charges filed against him.
