Former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo is said to have begun fasting and prayers in his hideout for divine intervention in his present travails. Tompolo, who is an evangelist and adherent of the Amasiekumor deity of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State, has reportedly become more spiritual. Recall Tompolo went underground in January following a bench warrant issued for his arrest over fraud charges by a Federal High Court in Lagos, which ordered the confiscation of some of his assets in Warri and other parts of Delta State. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) and the Police subsequently declared him wanted. According to the Media Adviser and Consultant to Tompolo, Mr. Paul Bebenimibo: “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.”
