Former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo otherwise known as Tompolo has reportedly turned to fasting and prayer in the light of the EFCC charges leveled against him.
The Ex-militant has been underground since January when a bench warrant was issued by a high court against him over charges bordering on fraud. The seizure of his properties in Warri and other parts of Delta state was also approved.
The EFCC and security agencies have so far been unable to find him.
It has been reported however that with the heat well and truly on Tompolo, he has resorted to prayer and fasting as a recourse for his current troubles.
According to national daily the Vanguard, a source said, “Yes, he has gone into fasting and prayers because he knows that it is only God and not any human being that can deliver him from his present problems, planned by his enemies to undo him.”
Also according to the Vanguard, the Media Adviser and Consultant to Tompolo, Mr. Paul Bebenimibo, corroborated the story, saying: “When one is in travail, which is his case, you will take your case to God and that is what he has done. “I can confirm to you that Tompolo is presently on fasting and prayers to God so that He will intervene because he knows that He is a God of justice and will fight for him because he is innocent,”
