Other accused persons in the charge sheet, numbered FHC/L/553c/2015, are – a former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Patrick Akpobolokemi; Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, Odimiri Electricals Limited, Kemi Engozu, Boloboere Property and Estate Limited, Rex Elem and Destre Consult Limited.
Justice Ibrahim Buba issued the summons on Tompolo following a January 12 motion ex-parte moved by EFCC’s lawyer, Rotimi
Oyedepo.
He ruled: “An order is granted to the applicant issuing a summons to compel the appearance of Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo) before this honourable court having been alleged to have committed the offences as contained in the body of the charge.”
The judge also granted EFCC leave to serve the summons and the charge on Tompolo by affixing them on a conspicuous part of his address at 1, Chief Agbanu DDPA Extension, Warri, Delta State.
Security agents on December 14 last year re-arrested Akpobolokemi outside the Federal High Court premises in Lagos moments after his trial for allegedly defrauding the Federal Government was adjourned.
Policemen and plain clothes operatives swopped on him and bundled him into a waiting bus soon after Justice Buba adjourned trial to January 18.
