EFCC Arrests Man For Issuing Death Threats Against Its Chairman

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a man identified as Kayode Cole for issuing a death threat against its Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

Cole was accosted in the Lugbe area of Abuja after making the threat via his Instagram handle in response to an Instagram blog post on February 1, 2024

An announcement of Cole’s arrest was disclosed in a statement posted on its X official handle on Wednesday.

The statement read, “Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, March 18, 2024, arrested one Kayode Cole for issuing a death threat against the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede.

“Cole was arrested at the Lugbe axis of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja. 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.”

This incident also came up after Olukoyede’s previous disclosure on January 30, 2024, regarding the EFCC’s findings on money laundering activities involving religious groups in Nigeria.

The defence of the man that he made the threats against the EFCC chairman for the purpose of chasing clout is bound to be received with controversy.
