Tompolo seeks court ruling on his appeal
Embattled ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tomopolo, has appealed to Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court, Lagos, to release to him, copy of the ruling of February 8, 2016 in the charge filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to enable him appeal against same.
Vanguard gathered that one of the counsel to Tompolo in the matter, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has been frequenting the court to get the ruling, to enable Tompolo appeal same with no luck.
Yesterday in court Adegboruwa made an oral appeal to the judge, expressing his frustrations in respect of the ruling. He said it was necessary to appeal to the judge to intervene because of the time limited for Tompolo to exercise his right of appeal.
The judge reminded Adegboruwa that the ruling was only delivered on February 8, 2016 and that he had a backlog of judgments and rulings to deliver.
The judge said a lawyer from Adegboruwa’s law firm had been visiting the court everyday since February 8, 2016, and the ruling in question was being typed and would be ready today (Tuesday) and given to Adegboruwa.
