Mujahid Asari Dokubo


The Leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) has been one of the most prominent latter-day militant leader to champion the cause of the Niger Delta people. The emergence of the Jonathan presidency was like a payback for the ex-militant leader as a lot of financial windfall came his way through various means. He was a strong advocate for the continuation of the Jonathan presidency beyond 2015. It got to a stage he and Edwin Clark were competing to be the major voice agitating for Jonthan to win the 2015 elections. However, with the defeat of Jonathan, sources close to LEADERSHIP Weekend said he has almost faded out of the public glare, same with the robust lifestyle he was indulging in. In fact, it was gathered that he now spends more time in Benin Republic where he owns the Amachree African University, KAAU, in addition to the soccer academy he runs in the West African country.

Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo

Having been reduced financially by President Muhammadu Buhari through revocation of most of his lucrative contracts, especially the one to Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Ltd (GWVSNL) which he is the chief promoter, Tomplo has also reduced his lavish lifestyle.

Though, he’s still being looked at as “warlord,” sources said hundreds of his followers have allegedly dumped him as they search for other means of sustenance.

It was reliably gathered that the ex-militant leader can longer use his private jet because of high maintenance cost. Unconfirmed sources also said the many women that flocked around him have thinned out.

An aide who did not want his name in print said: “Oga Tompolo is not all that broke as people see him at present, though he has stopped the lavish lifestyle he was used to when President Goodluck Jonathan was there (Aso Villa).”

Ebikabowei Victor Ben, alias Commander Boyloaf

Boyloaf works hand-in-hand with Gen Africa to coordinate MEND activities in Bayelsa State though his area of operations is in the Ekeremor and Southern Ijaw axis of the state.

With his education and exposure, BoyLoaf is said to have gotten a better deal out of the Amnesty Programme and was able to build houses in Abuja and Port Harcourt. He also has business in shipping and dredging. Even though he has always kept a low profile, the exit of Jonathan has further forced him to cut down on his public exposure.
