BREAKING: EFCC SAYS TOMPOLO HAS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER OVER VIRAL VIDEO
By: Motunrayo Aniwura
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has stated that Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, must respond to allegations surrounding a viral video that appears to show him misusing the naira.
The video sparked public outcry on Sunday, with many Nigerians calling on the EFCC to take the same action against Tompolo as it has against others accused of similar offenses.
The uproar followed a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user Harrison A, tweeting under the handle #harreceipts, with the caption: “EFCC, see Tompolo and the Naira o.”
The video clip captured parts of Tompolo’s 54th birthday celebration in April.
It showed the Niger Delta chieftain dancing while a man lavishly sprayed N1,000 notes before him.
Responding to the demands by netizens, EFCC in a post on its official X handle on Monday said: “Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!”
