The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says its operatives have detained a man identified as Kayode Cole for issuing a death threat against Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the anti-graft agency.
Cole was said to have been apprehended in the Lugbe area of Abuja after making the threat via his Instagram handle, “1billionsecretss,” in response to an Instablog9ja post on February 1, 2024.
The agency disclosed this in a statement shared on its X account on Wednesday.
Instablog9ja had posted a story with the caption: “A Religious Sect Is Laundering Money for Terrorists. We Traced N7 Billion Fraud Proceeds to another Religious Group – EFCC Chairman”.
Reacting in the comment section of Instablog9ja, Cole stated that the EFCC Chairman will be dead in six months.
“He will be dead in six months. This man will be dead in 6 months remember I said it”, he said.
In the course of interrogation, the suspect claimed that he was just “chasing clout.”
He will be handed over to the appropriate authority for further investigation and prosecution.
