Ex-militant leader,
Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, said Friday, that his family and
associates were under siege by security agents, who allegedly treated roughly
his 84-year-old father, in Kurutie community, Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri
South-West Local Government, resulting in the amputation of his lower limbs,
two weeks ago.
Tompolo, in an open
letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, which he indicated might be his last,
said the continuous harassment and intimidation was getting out of hand, and he
does not deserve it. He said after the military invaded Kurutie and brutalized
his father, sympathizers managed to rescue him to Warri, where the hospital
admitted him.

limbs was amputated two weeks ago.
From the doctor’s
report, it will be a thing of miracle if he survives this incident. Is this 84-
year- old man also a member of the Niger Delta Avengers that they brutalized to
the point of death? He asked.
He said that the
harassment and intimidation was by the Nigeria Army, Navy and Department of
State Services, DSS, in connivance with two chieftains of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in Delta State, Chief Ayiri Emami and Chief Michael Johnny.
The ex-militant
leader asked President Buhari: “Will Your Excellency accept this in good faith
if this was done to your father or someone of this age in your family?”
