Ex-militant says Buhari should allow peace reign in Niger Delta

Tompolo further went ahead to deny any involvement in the attack saying he won't carry out such attack knowing fully well he has a case with the Federal Government.

Ex-militant, Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to allow peace reign in the Niger Delta region.

Reacting to allegations that he was behind the attack on oil installations in Warri, Delta State, Tompolo vows that the country would know no peace if the region is troubled.

In a statement by his media aide, he said, “Well, I am sure this is what President Buhari is looking for. He should allow the people of the Niger Delta Region to know peace, otherwise he will not know peace as well.”

'I am not responsible for the attack and I condemn it as a dastardly act. I am aware that some persons might want to destroy oil installations and link it with me; that was why I said before time that I have nothing to do with it.

'I could not have gone ahead to carry out such action knowing that every finger will be pointed at me because of my case with the Federal Government,” he added.
