WASHINGTON D.C., USA – A group of protesters has gathered outside the White House, demanding justice for alleged crimes committed by former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) and the Presidential Amnesty Programme Administrator, Dennis Burutu Otuaro.
The protesters, carrying placards and chanting slogans, called on the U.S. government to pressure Nigerian authorities to terminate the controversial pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tompolo and remove Otuaro from his position as Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Niger Delta Affairs.
In a statement read by a spokesperson, the group accused Otuaro of alleged kidnapping, murder, human trafficking, and financing terrorism. Tompolo was accused of operating illegal detention centers and using forced labor under the guise of pipeline protection.
“These are not mere accusations; these are the lived realities of hundreds of innocent victims in Nigeria,” the spokesperson said.
The protesters claimed that despite petitions to Nigerian security agencies, no action has been taken, alleging that institutions are compromised. They demanded the release of individuals reportedly held in private detention facilities.
A detailed petition with videos and evidence is being submitted to President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress.
The Nigerian government and the involved officials have yet to respond to the allegations.
