PH Cell: EFCC Nabs Mischievous Blogger
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), South-South Zone, Port Harcourt has tracked down and arrested one Dikeocha Chukwuebuka, the blogger who posted a fake photo online, alleging that the crowded torture cell belonged to EFCC.
The Head of Port Harcourt Zonal Office, Usman Imam, who paraded Dikeocha before newsmen at the EFCC office, yesterday, said the suspect was arrested at a new generation bank along Ada-George Road, Port Harcourt at 4 pm, last Wednesday.
Imam said newsmen that the fake news posted by the suspect with his Twitter account @ The Real Dayne on February 10, 2020, was shocking and embarrassment to the commission because there was no such torture cell at the Zonal office.
He recalled that he had vowed the commission would deploy its resources to track down the harbinger of the fake photo news on February 12, 2020, when journalists were invited on a tour of its detention facilities.
Imam explained that the feat in tracking and eventually arresting the suspect in a record time of about two weeks of the manhunt is living within the slogan of the commission, which is: “EFCC will get you, anywhere anytime”.
