Lawyer Festus Keyamo petitions SSS, IGP over threat to kill him by Tompolo

Just received this petition which was sent to the IG of Police and SSS
from lawyer and rights activist Festus Keyamo about an alleged threat
to his life. Read below...

Threat to kill Mr. Festus Keyamo by Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (Alias Tompolo)
My name is Festus Keyamo. I am a Nigerian citizen and a senior member
of the legal profession in Nigeria.

At exactly 10:13pm on Tuesday, October 28, 2014, I received a
telephone call from one Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (aliasTompolo) with
phone number (I removed the number). We have been acquaintances in the
past, so I know his numbers. After reaffirming that he is Tompolo when
I picked his call, he went straight to the point by informing me that
he wishes to inform me that he and his"boys"will kill me by beating me
to death or shooting me anywhere they can find me. And that the hunt
for me is on. His exact words in pidgin English was"we dey look for
you.
Anywhere we see you, whether for Lagos or Abuja or Warri, we go beat
you die or we go shoot you."

He said he would kill me because I have decided to take up the matter
involving his blood brother, Mr. George Ekpemupolo, who was used to
illegally substitute another candidate, Mr. Weyinmi Omadeli (48 hours
to the election) in the Warri South-West L.G.A elections that were
concluded last Saturday in Delta State. He said no one has ever
challenged his authority in Delta State. Kindly find attached the open
letter I wrote to Governor Uduaghan of Delta State yesterday which has
sparked Tompolo's determination to kill me.

I asked Tompolo
FIVE TIMES
whether, he was, in fact, threatening my life over an open line and he
said nobody in the country can do anything about it by the time I am
dead.
Co-incidentally, exactly three minutes after
Tompolo
dropped his line, His Excellency, Governor Udaughan called me at
exactly10.16pm, and I reported to him what just transpired between
Tompolo
and myself. The Governor promised to speak with him, but that cannot
be reassuring enough, and I know the remedy in law against an intended
murderer is not to beg him but to ignite the criminal justice system
against him, no matter how comatose that system is.

I know the subject of this petition,Tompolo, is a favoured citizen of
this government, and I am not. I knowTompolois close to those in power
at the moment, whereas I am an ordinary citizen. I knowTompolohas
money and influence (which are factors that are widely acknowledged to
aid a suspect walk away with murder in Nigeria), but I have none of
these. I knowTompolohas instrument to kill human beings, and I have
none.

In the circumstance, I am making this petition public so that when you
refuse to attend to my complaint and outcry, the ordinary people of
this country will, at least, know from where my death came and I will
not join the long list of unresolved murders.
My killer, should, at least be known.
Thank you for, at least, reading my petition.

Yours sincerely,
FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.
