Tompolo declared wanted

You're referring to the recent development in Nigeria!

Yes, you're correct. Tompolo, a former militant leader in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, has been declared wanted by the Nigerian government.

Tompolo, whose real name is Government Ekpemupolo, was a key figure in the Niger Delta Avengers, a militant group that carried out attacks on oil installations and kidnapped foreign oil workers in the region. He was also a key ally of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

In 2016, Tompolo was accused of embezzling funds meant for the construction of a federal government project in his home state of Bayelsa. He was subsequently charged with corruption and money laundering.

In recent weeks, Tompolo has been at the center of a controversy surrounding the alleged diversion of funds meant for the construction of the East-West Road in Bayelsa State. The Nigerian government has accused him of being involved in the diversion of the funds, which has led to his declaration as a wanted person.

The Nigerian police have issued a warrant for Tompolo's arrest, and a reward has been offered for information leading to his capture. However, Tompolo has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the government of persecuting him.

The development has sparked concerns about the safety of Tompolo and his associates, as well as the potential for further violence in the Niger Delta region.
