As Nigerians especially the security agencies continue their search for billionaire militant, Mr Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, reliable information reaching Secret Reporters reveals that he’s tucked away in the home of a top Delta government official.
Our reliable source within the Deputy Governor’s offce, Mr Kingsley Otuaro confided in us that his boss is currently shielding Tompolo from the Nigeria government in his secured mansion in Asaba as well as his official lodge, which cannot be searched due to the immunity clause given to him as Deputy Governor.
