Former militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, has accused the Federal Government of planning to use his arrest to get at former President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Tompolo, the former president is the primary target of the Buhari administration.
“I am just a victim of circumstances. I am just a perceived enemy of the government,” Tompolo said in a recent interview.
He added: “The intention of the government was to arrest former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“But they feel that arresting Jonathan without arresting me may be difficult, that was the reason why they are after me.”
Tompolo also criticized President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that the retired Army General does not have a clue about how to manage the economy of the country, as evidenced by Nigeria’s present economic situation.
“Now Nigerians have seen the way the government has run the economy aground because they are clueless, and only chasing shadows. It is difficult to give what you do not have.”
