....The Rescue Of Soboma George, Tompolo’s Crafty Activities, The First & Second Plots Against Jonathan, The Human Rights Abuses And Other Activities

Many may wonder why the late Soboma George held such respect for General Boyloaf and why he refused Henry Okah’s direct order to assassinate him.

To truly understand this allegiance, there is a story behind it.

During the time Boyloaf and Farah Dagogo were operating in Rivers State, an emergency unfolded. Soboma George was stopped and arrested by the police for a traffic violation. He was then transferred directly to the SIB close CPS on Aggrey Road, Port Harcourt. 

Attempts were made to reach Farah Dagogo, but his phone was switched off. Desperate, several people, including Bekule, popularly known as Senator, Ayela and others reached out to General Boyloaf and reported the issue. 

Realizing that the authorities had not yet confirmed the identity of the high-profile man in their custody, Boyloaf reacted immediately. He reached out to Cammander AWO, who was in charge of the camp, and quickly made gunboats available and released of machine guns to a selected fighters.

Boyloaf gave a clear command to the fighters: rescue Soboma George by force immediately, before the police realized who they had in custody.

The response was swift. Commander AWO prepared the fighters for the operation. Some carried AK-47 rifles, while others carried GPMG machine guns with heavy ammunition chains wrapped around their bodies. Explosive specialists were also among them, trained to use dynamite with deadly precision.

They entered five speedboats, including Late Blackdevil, Idabi, also known as Amora, Nimoti, Senipe, and others, and drove through the waterways toward Port Harcourt City.

Upon landing at the waterside, the fighters marched barefoot through the streets of Port Harcourt. Some of them were dressed in white singlets and pants, carrying heavy machine guns. They moved with great force and energy, when straight toward the SIB station. 

Security forces attempted to stop the mission with armored tanks, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the fighters using dynamite and heavy gunfire. The fighters breached the facility and rescued Soboma George, alongside the late Asi from Isaba Town, Warri South West, who had been in prison long before Soboma’s arrest.

As they marched back through the road toward the waterside, many young men who saw their confidence were captivated. A large number of them asked to join the fighters back to the creek. Additional boats were arranged, and they all traveled back to the base.

That day, the nation learned that Soboma George was not merely a leader of the Icelanders fraternity, but also a formidable commander of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

Let’s dive into some of Tompolo’s activities during the Niger Delta struggle.

Tompolo’s Crafty Strategy from 2007 to 2009
To fully understand the situation in the region before the 2009 Peace Deal, brokered by Boyloaf, it is important to examine the activities of Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.

The First Plot Against Goodluck Jonathan.
When Goodluck Jonathan became the governor of Bayelsa State after the impeachment of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Tompolo sought to strengthen his political influence across the state.

In an attempt to create fear and gain influence over the new governor, Tompolo sent a group to kidnap his fellow Ijaw man. Although the abductors could not find Jonathan, they set fire to part of his private residence in Ogbia, Bayelsa State.

The Second Plot Against Jonathan
Later, as President Olusegun Obasanjo began positioning Jonathan as the ideal vice-presidential candidate alongside Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, political groups opposed to Jonathan’s hired Tompolo to stop him.

Tompolo gathered an armed group and sent them to the Bayelsa State Government House in Yenagoa, with orders to kidnap and assassinate him.

The Attack Fails
However, security at the Government House was on high alert. A heavy gunfight broke out before the attackers could even reach the shore. After heavy casualties from Tompolo’s  men, the surviving men retreated into the waterways and eventually lost their way near the territorial waters of Ezetu.

Boyloaf Intercepts the Boats
At the time, General Boyloaf’s patrol team, which included Jude Gbaboyor and Commander Shaka, was operating two gunboats in the area. When they heard the sound of engines in the distance, they set up an ambush and intercepted the two boats.

The occupants quickly identified themselves as Tompolo’s men and begged for mercy. They explained that their mission had failed badly and that many of their men had been killed. Inside the boats were wounded men who were bleeding heavily and a dead body along with empty machine-gun ammunition belts.

Boyloaf’s fighters took the wounded men to Ezetu town for emergency first aid and reported the situation to Boyloaf.

Acting quickly, Boyloaf sent two special gunboats, led by Gen. Ofoblo, Jude, and Commander Ebi, to safely escort the survivors back to Camp 5 in Delta State.

Tompolo Receives the  Boyloaf's Escort Team
Relieved to see some of his men return, Tompolo hosted the escort team. He gave them refreshments and the customary colanut wage of ₦200,000 before they returned to Bayelsa State.

Boyloaf Learns the Truth
It was only after his men returned that Boyloaf learned the true purpose of their Tompolo’s  men mission, it was an attack on Jonathan’s life.

Boyloaf was deeply angry that an outside group had attacked the seat of power in his state. To him, the action went against his rule of not targeting political leaders.

Tompolo and Rival Groups
Tompolo maintained a strict intolerance toward rival militant groups emerging within Delta State. Whenever other groups in Delta State carried out activities, such as taking expatriates hostage, Tompolo was known for putting pressure on them, taking the hostages from them, and handing them over to the government for his personal glory.

Meanwhile, his anti-activities against the Niger Delta struggle continued.

Boyloaf Observes the Pattern
Boyloaf noticed the pattern of Tompolo’s operations. He adopted a quiet strategy of sending his fighters across the Niger Delta states to destroy pipelines without anyone knowing where the destruction came from.

Although the fighters carried out the attacks quietly, the news would report the pipeline destruction. This allowed the activities to draw attention to the Niger Delta struggle without directly revealing where the attacks came from with MEND taken responsibility.

The 2009 Peace Deal and Later Reports
Following the 2009 peace deal, which Tompolo used while facing intense military pressure over the death of a senior military personnel and the subsequent invasion of Gbaramatu Kingdom, after then, reports began to emerge of systematic oppression of people, including the establishment of private detention facilities in Gbaramatu Kingdom by Tompolo. 

Detentions and Human Rights Abuses
Over the years, various accounts and formal petitions have alleged a pattern of extrajudicial detentions, forced disappearances, and violence across the region by Tompolo. 

Enforced Disappearance of Balamene Karowei
On July 11, 2024, Mr. Balamene Karowei was abducted from his home in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

Eyewitnesses and family members claimed that the operation was carried out by Bodmas Kemepadei alongside officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), acting under the orders from Tompolo.

No official arrest record or legal proceeding has been disclosed regarding his whereabouts.

Abduction of Charles Korubo 
On November 19, 2024, Mr. Charles Korubo was abducted by an armed men led by Jacob Korubo and Bodmas Kemepadei, with logistical coordination linked to Joshua Maciver and directives from Tompolo. He was transported to Oporoza, Delta State, and locked in Tompolo’s private prison.

Detention of Niger Deltans in Tompolo’s Private Prison 
Rawlings kakumor was invited to Oporoza to settle a dispute, only to be held in a private facility for more than seven months.

A group comprising Peter Zeblon, Solomon Ayoro, Samuel Kponah, Man Gbagidi, Morrison Arigidi, Samson Ovomajiri, and an individual identified as Monday were detained in Oporoza for more than two months before their release.

Six persons from the Tisun and Usor communities in Warri North LGA, Moses Obukokwo, Samson Edema, Afejuku Jolomi, Moses Richard, Okoh Samson, and Omamuminogho Molagbemi, were reportedly seized by Super Ebilade and held in Tompolo’s private prison in Oporoza for two months. During their detention, they were subjected to forced labor.

Their community leaders eventually intervened and applied pressure, which reportedly led to their release.

Napoleon Sekegbekumor Egin, the king-elect of Egbema Kingdom, was abducted by Tantita Security operatives own by Tompolo shortly after his nomination. He was reportedly held without food for two days and forced to record a video denying his abduction before being handed over to the Department of State Services (DSS).

Extrajudicial Killings
Video footage depicting Tantita Security personnel extrajudicially executing and dismembering persons has sparked intense condemnation, drawn comparisons to terrorist tactics, and prompted calls for formal international investigations.

Motu Mene, also known as MK, was arrested and he was handed over to Tompolo to be presented to the government for legal prosecution.

Instead, Tompolo took him to Oporoza, where he was executed by his men, Super Ebilade and Ebipade Kari. His body were subsequently use for ritual purposes.

The above are some of the activities Tompolo has carried out in the Niger Delta region.

Surprised Over Tompolo’s Role in the Niger Delta Struggle
With the activities of Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, one cannot help but wonder whether he is truly an Ijaw man.

His actions have often gone against the main goals of the Niger Delta struggle. While young men across the region, including Delta State, were actively fighting for the cause, Tompolo was repeatedly working against them.

His Relationship with MEND
Tompolo has not clearly told the public that he left and rejected the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) during the early stages of the movement.

After leaving MEND, he actively opposed its activities.

Tompolo also created a separate group called FENDI and the Oporoza House.

Let Him Provide Evidence
If these claims are not correct, Tompolo should publicly explain his specific contributions to the Niger Delta struggle.

He should also provide evidence showing that he was a member of the defunct MEND by his activities. 

In fact, if anyone can provide a single verifiable piece of evidence showing Tompolo’s direct involvement in the struggle between 2007 and 2009, before the Federal Government peace deal, I will personally reward that person with a sum of five million naira (₦5,000,000).

Note: We will not allow anyone to rewrite the history of the events we took part in, in support of the Niger Delta struggle, and use it for their family’s glory.
