Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested Udoma David Ekeh, a Tiktok user, for spreading false information about the Commission and its officers.
Udeh, in December 2025, alerted the public that some operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Commission were kidnapped by bandits while on an assignment in a location in Kwara State.
He also insinuated that the bandits demanded huge ransom from the EFCC before releasing the purported officers.
All his claims are fabricated, together with the use of his Tiktok account to incite and misinform the public about the Commission’s relentless efforts in tackling the menace of internet fraud.
Preliminary investigations showed that the suspect is involved in romance scam by using his Facebook account to impersonate a foreigner with the name Garg Carta
He will be charged to court soon
