Tompolo to Face EFCC Questions Over Viral Video The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, will be questioned over a viral video allegedly showing him engaging in naira abuse. Public outrage erupted over the weekend after the clip, originally shared by a user identified as Harrison A on X (formerly Twitter), surfaced online. The video, tagged with the caption "EFCC, see Tompolo and the Naira o," showcased moments from Tompolo’s 54th birthday celebration in April. In the footage, the prominent Niger Delta leader is seen dancing while a man lavishly sprays N1,000 notes in his presence. The display sparked widespread criticism, with many Nigerians urging the anti-graft agency to take action against Tompolo, as it has done with other individuals in similar situations. In response to the public outcry, the EFCC posted a statement on its official X handle on Monday, asserting its commitment to upholding the law. “Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!” the commission stated. The development signals that the EFCC may be poised to investigate the matter, as concerns grow over naira abuse and the need for accountability among public figures.
