With the recent video clip of Tompolo, many social media users believe the EFCC will once again turn a blind eye just as it did in the case of the Okoya sons.
Nigerians are calling for the arrest of former militant leader Government Ekpumupolo (Tompolo) after a viral video showed him being sprayed with N1,000 notes at his 54th birthday celebration in April. The act violates the Central Bank of Nigeria’s ban on naira abuse, sparking criticism of the EFCC for perceived selective enforcement. Social media user Harrison shared the clip with the caption: “EFCC see Tompolo and the Naira o,” reigniting debates over accountability.
The footage shows Tompolo dancing while cash is sprayed on him—a practice punishable by law. Critics argue the EFCC has targeted minor offenders while ignoring high-profile cases. The anti-graft agency has yet to respond, but the incident highlights growing scrutiny over consistent enforcement of financial regulations.
