Ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has accused security agents hunting for him of laying siege to his family and brutalising his aged father.
Tompolo also claimed that his father, aged 84 years, was amputated as a result of torture meted out to him by security men who invaded his village in Kurutie community, Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government, two weeks ago.
The militant leader made these accusations in a letter he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday (yesterday) from his hiding, saying he does not deserve the treatment he was getting from the Federal Government. In an open letter to President Buhari, which he indicated might be his last, said the continuous harassment and intimidation was getting out of hand, and he does not deserve it.
He said after the military invaded Kurutie and brutalized his father, sympathizers managed to rescue him to Warri, where the hospital admitted him.
“Sadly, one of his lower limbs was amputated two weeks ago. From the doctor’s report, it will be a thing of miracle if he survives this incident. Is this 84 year- old man also a member of the Niger Delta Avengers that they brutalized to the point of death?” He asked.
He said that the harassment and intimidation was by the Nigeria Army, Navy and Department of State Services, DSS, in connivance with two chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State, Chief Ayiri Emami and Chief Michael Johnny.
The ex-militant leader asked President Buhari: “Will Your Excellency accept this in good faith if this was done to your father or someone of this age in your family?”
