Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has disowned a viral publication alleging that he issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to release detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement by his Media Consultant, Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, Tompolo described the report as fake and the handiwork of mischief makers bent on tarnishing his image and distracting his company’s ongoing operations against crude oil theft in the Niger Delta.
He reaffirmed his commitment to national stability and expressed continued support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, saying his endorsement of the president’s second-term bid remains unwavering.

The statement reads: “The attention of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation and Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has been drawn to the above subject matter, which is trending in some social media platforms. Related News
“We wish to state unequivocally and unambiguously that, Tompolo did not author the said publication. High Chief Ekpemupolo has nothing to do with the issue of Nnamdi Kanu. It is clearly the hand work of Tompolo’s enemies, who are out there to discredit and pull him down because of his stand against illegal crude oil activities in the Niger Delta region.
“These set of people has failed and will continue to fail because he will not relent in carrying out his duty to totally eradicate illegal oil activities in the region.
“We wish to reassure the Federal Government, led by our dynamic President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that Tompolo is with him and will continue to support the renewed agenda of his govenment. We wish to add that Tompolo remains firm and reaffirm his endorsement of Mr President for second term and continues to work for its realisation.
“Once again, the Federal Government and the general public should ignore the said publication.”
