The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced plans to question Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, over alleged naira abuse.
A viral video from his April 2025 birthday
celebration, resurfacing on May 11, shows someone spraying N1,000 notes on him, violating the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007. The EFCC stated on May 12, “Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!” As of May 13, no arrest has been reported.
Tompolo, a former Niger Delta militant leader, evaded EFCC prosecution in 2016 for a N45.9 billion fraud case, fueling skepticism about the agency’s ability to act. Public reactions on X highlight doubts, with users like

noting Tompolo’s perceived untouchability. His company’s government contracts add to the perception of selective enforcement.
The EFCC’s recent naira abuse crackdown targeted figures like Cubana Chief Priest, but Tompolo’s case tests its resolve against influential elites. Will this end in accountability or fade like past cases? Follow
