The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has frozen a bank account belonging to ex-militant, Government Ekemupolo, otherwise known as Tompolo.
He was arraigned in absentia before a Federal High Court in Lagos on 22 counts bordering on fraud, conversion of money and forgery alongside a former Director-General of NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi, and the latter’s six brothers on April 18, 2016, for an alleged N47.7bn fraud.
The anti-graft agency subsequently found N3bn in one of Tompolo’s account and has frozen it pending the outcome of court processes.
Tompolo, who is being investigated by the EFCC, has been on the run since February 2016.
