Prepare For War As Ex-Militant Tompolo Purchases 7 Warships

Report have started to gather steam that, Ex-Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo, alia Tompolo, has allegedly acquired 7 decommissioned Norwegian battleships.

According to a Dagbladet reports (Norwegian Newspaper), the fast-speed Hauk-class guided missile boats had been re-armed with new weaponry with Tompolo’s most recent purchase, a KNM Horten, a fast-attack craft now used in fighting piracy in Nigeria’s waterways.
