A Niger
Delta youth leader, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has cautioned President Muhammadu
Buhari to thread carefully on issues regarding ex-militant leader, Government
Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.Disclosing this in a statement, Mulade
claimed the alleged persecution of Tompolo was generating ill-feelings and
provocation in the region and could lead to the emergence of more dangerous
militants in the region.Mulade said, ‘’Government should not create loopholes
for more dangerous militants suppressed by Tompolo’s presence from taking
advantage of his issue with the government to cause more havoc in the region.”He
alleged that the factor that brought up militancy in the Niger Delta was
gradually resurfacing under the Buhari’s administration.
According
to the youth leader, the former warlord has many loyalists in the region who
are ready to resort to violence and destruction of oil installations because of
the issue he is having with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
