Comedian Pankeeroy Released After Five Weeks In EFCC Custody (Pix) by Abdulazeez99: 8:14pm On May 28, 2021
Instagram comedian Oliver Nwagbo, also known as Pankeeroy, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Igbere TV reports.

The Redeemer University computer science graduate confirmed his release in a statement by his lawyers uploaded to Instagram on Friday, May 28.

He tagged the post;
“MY OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE.”

According to the statement issued on his behalf by White Stone Solicitor and Consultancy, there was no petition against the comedian prior to his arrest by the anti-graft agency.

“It is worthy to state that there was no form of petition against our client and, as such, implied that no crime in whatever form was perpetrated against any person(s), company, or establishment by our client.

“Upon questioning and facts findings by officers of the Commission, our client was released as there was no form of nexus linking him to the purported commission of the investigated crime,” the statement signed by Tope Salami read in part.

Pankeeroy was arrested on Wednesday, April 20 at James Court, Lekki, Lagos.

The EFCC said the arrest was based on verified intelligence received by the commission.

Pankeeroy allegedly posed as a seller who trades Bitcoin vouchers using a platform to defraud unsuspecting victims.

A Mercedes Benz AMG GLE model worth N36,000,000 was recovered from him.

Investigations also revealed that he had N22,300,000 worth of Bitcoin in his blocked chain account.

He was paraded on Thursday, April 21 alongside 34 others.

The comedian spent five weeks in EFCC detention.

Nah, all those grammar states that someone who you will never be equal to financially in your life time was subjected to incarceration without concrete evidence for 5 weeks, thereby violating his human rights because he is intelligent enough to understand the economics of bitcoin. There was and is no evidence of fraud or yahoo yahoo as its called.. There are thousands of millionaires in the US that trade in bitcoins and cryptocurrency and its legal. Your mentality speaks volume of your personality,
and you wonder why you are stuck were you are. SMH

How do you arrest somebody and then commence investigation? Make it make sense.

You guys need to watch Son of Sam on Netflix. See how thorough an investigation was as far back as the 70s.

One day we will learn how much efcc actually makes or collects as settlement from each arrested fraudster...

In the meantime, they should continue with their charade.

By the way, who come be this one?!! Never seen or heard a single joke from him.

Idiots, in their books, all crypto traders are fraudsters. They will just round people that has crypto related businesses up, parade and do media trials for them and now infringe their privacy.
They will never investigate source of their poverty but arrest them for making money.
If you make good money from trading crypto and you can travel to any saver country, you better go before they will disarray all your efforts and hustling.
