An N2.4 million bribery scam is rocking the Delta State House of Assembly.

Multi-millionaire former Niger Delta armed militant, Government Ekpemupolo (better known as Tompolo), has explained why he convened a meeting of erstwhile leaders of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and other agitation groups in the oil-producing area.
