The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that former Niger Delta militant leader, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, will be questioned over alleged naira abuse.

In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday, the anti-graft agency reiterated that no one is above the law.

“Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!” the post read, accompanied by a picture showing the alleged abuse of the naira.

The controversy stems from a viral video shared on X.com on Sunday by Harrison A, who tweets as #harreceipts. The caption read, “EFCC, see Tompolo and the Naira o.”

The video, reportedly taken during Tompolo’s 54th birthday celebration in April, shows him dancing while a man sprays ₦1,000 notes in front of him.

The footage triggered a wave of criticism and calls for action on social media, with s accusing the EFCC of selective enforcement.

Najeeb Bello, tweeting as #NejeebBello, wrote: “Once e reach their Oga and him friends, ‘Eee Eff See See’ go turn ‘Eee Eff Blind Blind’. No be just Tompolo, but what of these Folawiyo Eleganza sons wey record and publish video of themselves dey abuse Naira?”

Another , #OurFavOnlineDoc, added: “Here is Tompolo mutilating the Naira. I know the eyes of that your eagle will suddenly go blind, but I am bringing this to your attention publicly so the whole world will see you are a shameless agency with double standards.”

Similarly, Meek Raphael, tweeting as #MeekRapheal, commented: “Okoya’s son is still walking freely and you expect them to go for Tompolo? Their laws are only effective when the offender is not from the rich class. Same with every security agency in Nigeria — none is truly for the masses.”

The EFCC has previously taken action against public figures over similar infractions. In the past, popular Lagos socialite Emeka Okonkwo (aka E-Money) was arrested for allegedly abusing the naira and defacing foreign currencies by spraying U.S. dollars.

Last week, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and comedian Ayo Makun were also invited for questioning over allegations related to currency spraying.

Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer

#EFCCNigeria

Where, how, when?

Not gonna happen

Too much beef

Idiots. You sent 50 armed fools to arrest E Money. When it's time for Tompolo, you're talking about "having questions to answer". Why not ARREST HIM and release his mugshots like you did for others? I hate this useless country.

Is it not better to acknowledge that this whole Naira abuse thing is a senseless joke and a waste of precious time, stop enforcing rubbish and face the more important task of hunting corrupt politicians and public officers.

We all know he's not going to jail

Lol... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Story…main target is igbo all these their useless query is to make it appear fair….small pikin sense people from that side bitterness for Igbo have reduced their brain to that of baby level

Imagine the largest pharmaceutical market in west Africa Ogbo Ogwu Onitsha have been closed down by NAFDAC for months now without reason. This is a market traders come to trade from Cameroun, Gabon, Equatorial Guniea , all over Nigeria , west Africa etc… thereby rendering people’s sources of livelihood useless across sub Sahara region useless and encouraged proliferation of fake and dangerous drugs into the country through smuggling channels from our porous borders at more expensive rates. The market unions have been reaching out to the Yoruba woman head of NAFDAC Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye for reason or what basis, guidelines or laws a whole market was closed but she has refused to budge thereby rubbing it in that it is for the same Yoruba against igbo hatred but life na turn by turn and nothing lasts for ever
