The judge authorised the EFCC to take possession of the assets pending when Tompolo will make himself available to answer the charges of N45.9bn fraud preferred against him and nine others.
The judge said if he fails to appear within the next three months, Government is free to proceed to sell off all Tompolo's properties, both the ones they know present and anyone they discover later.
The known assets of Tompolo which the EFCC was authorised to seize include his house located at No. 1, Chief Agbamu Close DDPA Extension Warri (Effurun), Delta State.
Others are a River Crew Change Boat named MUHA-15; “Tompolo Dockyard,” “Tompolo Yard,” the Diving School at Kurutie, at Escravos River; “Tompolo House” at Oporaza Town, opposite the Palace.
The judge said the EFCC may also seize other assets it may later discover to indeed belong to Tompolo.
At the hearing, Tompolo’s lawyers, Tayo Oyetibo (SAN) and Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, were both absent.
Speaking, EFCC lawyer, Festus Keyamo said:
“What is unfolding before our very eyes is something that has never been seen in this country for a very long time, where a citizen disparages the order of the court, briefs lawyers to appear for him but refuses to appear, keeps making disparaging statements against the judiciary.”
In his ruling Justice Buba said he found the application to be meritorious. The judge ruled, “This court has no doubt that the application has merit.”
All security agencies have been put on alert to arrest Tompolo whenever and wherever he's sighted.
Nice move
ReplyDeleteTompolo please come out from hiding
ReplyDeleteVery good. Corruption has to come to an end.
ReplyDeleteTompolo you in for it... Why not face the law
ReplyDeleteI learnt with absolute pain and disappointment on how some Nigerians support evil doers. Nobody is bigger than the law of the federal republic of Nigeria. If Tompolo is a criminal, he should be treated as one without fear of its consequences. Not until Nigerians get rids of people like these,we'll still be far from the realities of good and cherishable life. It's a pity that nobody cares for the helpless petty thieves that languishes in jail but the big thieves who rides in luxuries. God bless nigeria and it's good people.
ReplyDeleteHe should just surrender himself to the government, not to make a further mockery of judiciary
ReplyDeletePowerful Tompolo,nobody is above the law come out now
ReplyDeletePls what about Asari dokubo?
ReplyDeleteI bet he will come out of his hiding place sharply.
ReplyDeletedec.16th@yahoo.com
Good one...Since he has refused to respect himself by showing up at the court or giving himself in to the police, he will now be treated like a criminal
ReplyDeleteSo, fellow Nigerians, let's shine our eye. He's no different from boko haram.
ReplyDeleteBashir u should ask what about babangida and ur abubakar. Asari dokubo and tompolo are just normal citizens fighting for their right! I am not saying its good idea for not reckoning to court order but what has he done wrong, let them probe babangida obasanjo etc too

ReplyDeleteThis man is testing the Government will and his people are not warning him. By the time Government bares its fangs, people will say it is dictatorial. Why can't we be reasonable for once?
