A
former Niger Delta militant, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, alia Tompolo,
has bought seven decommissioned Norwegian battleships, Saturday PUNCH
has learnt.
Reports by a Norwegian newspaper,
Dagbladet, said that the fast-speed Hauk-class guided missile boats had
been re-armed with new weaponry.
The report also revealed that
Ekpemupolo’s most recent purchase is a KNM Horten, a fast-attack craft
now used in fighting piracy in Nigeria’s waterways.
It was learnt that in spite of his
alleged history of violence, Tompolo, now controls the Global West
Vessel Service, a privately owned contractor for maritime security for
the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency.
