5 feared dead as Tompolo’s father is buried
Tompolo's Alleged Presence A Ruse, Gbaramatu Chief
At the very least five people were dreaded dead in a watercraft incident on Warri River the same number of vessels passed on grievers to Kurutie, in Warri South West Local Council, for the entombment of Chief Thomas Ekpemupolo, father of needed Government Ekpemupolo, prominently known as "Tompolo.
Ekpemupolo kicked the bucket a fortnight prior, from wounds he professedly managed in the hands of officers and men of the Nigerian Army.
In any case, as the memorial service of Chief Ekpemupolo went on, reports that the needed ex-aggressor pioneer went to his dad's entombment sifted in, however was later dispersed as a deception.
The perplexity was later trailed to a photo circled to a few writers by means of Whatsapp with the subtitle "Government Ekpemukpolo moniker Tompolo with police escorts at his dad's internment yesterday at Gbaramatu," which demonstrated the needed ex-activist pioneer, wearing all white customary clothing encompassed by several supporters, close by two police escorts.
The photo, which was purportedly coursed by Tompolo's followers to make the ex-aggressor pioneer look unscathed, was rejected as false claim.
Said a Gbaramatu boss: "I have addressed a few people who went to the entombment and none of them affirmed that Tompolo went to. By what method can a man who has no police escort go to joined by policemen? The photo being circled is an old picture and not taken at Tompolo's dad's entombment."
One of the five casualties of the vessel setback is a Hausa negligible merchant, who was taking his products to offer at the venue of the entombment.
The vessel conveying for the most part ladies, inverted not long after take-off at Miller Waterside Jetty in Warri.
Talking on the lamentable episode that happened late Friday evening, the Gbaramatu people group pioneer, who did not need his name in print told columnists: "We were at that point at the memorial service observing Chief Thomas Ekpemupolo, when we got news of the mischance.
"At first, we were let it know was just two people that kicked the bucket; yet we later learnt that around five people, including three females from Ogulagha, another female from Kurutie, and a man evidently from the Northern part of the nation, who was passing on a few products to exchange at the burial service ground, lost their lives."
