Operatives of the economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) have arrested one Kayode Cole for threatening to kill the chairman of the commission, Ola Olukoyede.
Cole, according to EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, was arrested at the Lugbe axis of the federal capital territory (FCT), Abuja.
The suspect made the death threat through his instagram page handle: “1billionsecretss”, while commenting on a story posted by a popular Instagram blogger, instablog9ja on February 1st, 2024.
Instablog9ja had posted a story with a caption: “a religious sect is laundering money for terrorists. We traced N7 billion fraud proceeds to another religious group – EFCC chairman”.
Reacting on the comment section of instablog9ja, Cole stated that the EFCC chairman would be dead in six months.
His response read…. “He will be dead in six months. This man will be dead in 6 months, remember I said it,”.
During interrogation, the suspect claimed that he was just “chasing clout”.
The anti-graft commission said Cole will be handed over to the appropriate authority for further investigation and prosecution.
