Some militants under the umbrella of the 21st Century Youths of the Niger Delta and Agitators with Conscience (21st CYNDAC) have threatened that they will tackle the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in the next one month if its men do not vacate the home of Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo.
They said the would occupy the place, to protest the continued occupation and freezing of Tompolo’s bank accounts.
They said these ought to have stopped because a court of law had freed theex-militant leader.
In an electronic mail statement released by the group’s Coordinator ‘General’ Izon Ebi on Sunday December 27, the militants stated that they will mobilise youths and women to occupy Tompolo’s properties if EFCC refuses to vacate the property in 30 days.
The statement read, “We are therefore calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly intervene to show that he means well for the Niger Delta and its people as promised in the just concluded roundtable discussion between governors from the region, traditional rulers and stakeholders in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to douse tensions and reassure Niger Deltans that without peace there will be no meaningful development.
“After 30 days of this appeal, we shall have no choice but to mobilise youths and women to occupy Tompolo’s properties to enable the workers that are out of jobs as a result of the seal off of his properties to resume work immediately for them to be able to fend for their families.
“The peace in the creeks of the Niger Delta can be greatly attributed to Tompolo’s efforts and commitment to maintain peace. Therefore, the onus lies on the Federal Government to do the needful.”
