A middle-aged man, Kayode Cole has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for issuing a death threat against the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede.
According to EFCC’s Spokesman Dele Oyewale, Cole was arrested at the Lugbe axis of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
Trouble started for Cole when he made a death threat through his Instagram page handle: “1billionsecretss” while commenting on a story posted by a popular Instagram blogger, Instablog9ja on February 1, 2024.
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”.
But Cole while reacting to the story in the comment section, stated that the EFCC chairman would be dead in six months.
He wrote, “He will be dead in six months. This man will be dead in 6 months remembered, I said it.”
The spokesman said Cole in the course of interrogation, claimed that he was just “chasing clout.”
He said the suspect will be handed over to the appropriate authority for further investigation and prosecution.
