The arm of the law is long.

Ex militant leader Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), and Patrick Akpobolokemi, a former director general of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, will be arraigned tomorrow on a 40-count charge of alleged money laundering , conspiracy, stealing and diversion of funds, the EFCC said.

Four other persons -Kime Engozu, Rex Elem, Gregory Mbonu and Captain Warredi Enisuoh- alongside four companies are also to be arraigned.

The companies are Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, Odimiri Electricals Limited Boloboere Property and Estate Limited, Destre Consult Limited.

The suspects allegedly diverted N34 billion which accrued from the public private partnership agreement between NIMASA and Global West Vessel Specialist Limited for personal use.

The EFCC said it had secured an order of the Federal High Court to serve the summon and charge on Tompolo by substituted means as the former Niger Delta militant leader has continuously evaded service.
