The economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday at the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos filed a 40-count criminal charge of unlawful conversion against former militant, Government Ekpemupolo - Tompolo, and a former boss of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Patrick Akpobolokemi.
Tompolo, and the former NIMASA boss, Akpbolokemi were alleged to have converted $108.7million and N2.1billion, being property of NIMASA.
The 16 count filed by Festus Keyamo on behalf of the EFCC also charged three others as well as five limited liability companies;
Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, Odimiri Electricals Limited, Kime Engozu, Boloboere Property and Estate Ltd, Rex Elem, Destre Consult Ltd, Gregory Mbonu, and Captain Warredi Enisuoh.
In counts 17-38 of the criminal charge, Rex Elem, Gregory Mbonu and Destre Consult Ltd allegedly converted N106.8million, property of Global West Vessel Specialist Ltd, despite knowing that the money was derived from corruption.
The offences are contrary to, and punishable under the Money Laundering Act of 2012.
