Government Ekpemupolo, popularly called Tompolo has denied being behind the Niger Delta Avengers militant group.
in a statement issued by his media consultant, Paul Bebenimibo, Tompolo said he had no reason to carry out sabotage acts against the Federal Government’s economic interests in the Niger Delta.
The ex-militant leader said, “Ordinarily, we would have ignored these media statements by these so-called avengers and reformed avengers because it is not a new tactics by these groups in bringing Tompolo’s name to whatever thing that happens in the Niger Delta region because of his legal battle with the government.
“Let it be stated at this point that Tompolo is not the only person having legal issues with the present government. Let us also state here that these accusations do not take away the fact that our dear country is in a crossroad.
“We wish to reiterate our earlier stand that nothing will make Tompolo to resort to destruction of oil facilities he once protected in a contractual arrangement. Those that have ears let them hear.”
