They will keep perpetuating falsehoods. The next bunch to arrest are the ones that when you beat them at intellectual discussions they begin name calling like calling one a scam

All because of likes on tweet -

But EFcc never showed us the back of Thier PH office ....they need to do that to disprove the guy...

I still believe this is the back of their PH Office

What right does the EFCC have to arrest him when it wasn’t a financial crime he committed. He better sue them for harassment and a motion declaring his arrest illegal.

Apeshy101:
The Economic and financial crime commission (EFCC) has announced via the commission’s verified Twitter Account that it has arrested a blogger identified Mr Dikeocha Chukwuebuka who published a fake tweet purported to be the commission’s cell in Portharcourt.

The Port Harcourt Zonal Head of the Commission, Mr Usman Imam who announced the arrest while briefing newsmen in Port Harcourt today, February 27, 2020 said the suspect was picked up at about 4pm on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 .


Describing the report as most embarrassing he said “I want to assure the suspect and indeed the media, that the Commission will follow through this investigation and ensure that justice is served in accordance with the law,”

He also urged social media influence’s to be weary of fake news.

Recall that EFCC had on February 12, 2020 vowed to apprehend the promoter of a report in the social media, which falsely claimed that the Commission’s holding facility is overcrowded, while detainees are allegedly subjected to mistreatment.

In the photo that went viral on social media, Mr Dikeocha Chukwuebuka with Twitter handle @TheRealDayne claimed that the photo was EFCC’s detention center and that suspects were treated with contempt

But where exactly is that place?

Shibaraba:
Question is... ..Where is that place?

They said another agency, but refused to name the agency. Na Estate Agency. Yahoo Housing Estate.

GamalNasser:
Nonsense it has been proven it was the same place

Are you people just purposefully ignorant or what

nairaman66:
EFCC should show us their cell to corroborate this arrest!

Do you know how many detention centers they own Abi you think they operate from one place.

SmartyPants:
What I am finding so interesting is the fact that said tweet is acknowledged to belong to another agency. So the basic fact of something not looking quite all right with the way the security apparatus treats Nigerian citizens remains glaringly unanswered.

Exactly. If ISWAP attack a community, and I report that Boko Haram attacked a community, will I be arrested for fake news? Or will the terrorists, regardless of their affiliation be arrested and brought to justice?

Morons leave that guy alone .Go arrest all those politicians from 1960 till date they have ruined Nigeria .KIA Nigeria under Buhari.if this government regime finally end na to do thanksgiving.

BarrSly:
What right does the EFCC have to arrest him when it wasn’t a financial crime he committed. He better sue them for harassment and a motion declaring his arrest illegal.

You should help him to sue them, this is how you will be jumping the gun and causing trouble for yourselfs,where did you read that they made the arrest themselves.

Shibaraba:
Question is... ..Where is that place?

Exactly!!

Fine! Blogger sharing fake news arrested, all good!
But question still remains unchanged, where exactly is that place? A place were able bodied men are held captive that is not a prison and by the looks, certainly not a police cell or is that some kinda kidnapper den

scoundrel:
The internet is anonymous, abi? Trolls should continue deceiving themselves. Those who believe hacking into the pentagon is as easy as mashing buttons very fast on keyboards will believe they are untraceable online. Get on a selected authority’s wrong side and they’ll flush you out of your village. This is just a local example. If it was the CIA he wronged based on Yahoo Yahoo they’ll capture and extradite him in the cover of night, even his immediate family will have no idea what happened.

That picture is sad. See humans crammed like sardines. My God, the African is an animal.

He was the one that contacted them so stop fooling yourself . He was never anonymous on Twitter

BanevsJoker:

Exactly. If ISWAP attack a community, and I report that Boko Haram attacked a community, will I be arrested for fake news? Or will the terrorists, regardless of their affiliation be arrested and brought to justice?

The bottom line is simple, do not peddle fake news,it undermines things and it can be deadly.

He may be a hungry blogger no doubt. But:

Has it been proven by GPS check that that isn’t an EFCC premise?
What if on account of the viral photo the Commission changed its way of “doing things” to save face?
What else could justify or does justify the situation painted in the picture?

These questions and much more beg for answers. Let the court decide and hope EFCC does not witch-hunt the guy.

Efcc should show us the back of their PH office. we want to check something.

Was the building for EFCC or not?
Who were the people there and what were they doing there?

GamalNasser:


He was the one that contacted them so stop fooling yourself . He was never anonymous on Twitter

Why didn’t he turn himself in then? The report says he was apprehended in a bank. What will he gain from contacting them and getting himself arrested?

YorubaKinging:
Igbos are good at spreading propangada and lies just because there are igbobians that are ready to believe anything
Ask kanu and his ipobians

Abi, especially igbos like Lie Mohammed, femi adesina. Those 2 ipobians are terrible liers.

But if the detention centre belongs to another agency as posited .. Measures should be taken to address the degrading, barbaric and wicked action of the concerned agency.

[quote author=Godons1 post=87002930]The Blogger is an Igbo MUSLIM. They are good at propagating lies and hate in this Country. His Cup is full now. [/quote'what is this one saying nothing like Muslim in igboland

Na for our body EFCC dey get power, make they pursue the big big thief they nor fit. Foolish people!

Then where is this place..

Are u guys sure?

DuBLINGreenb:
Oppression!!!

The tweet is not fake until EFCC disproves it by showing us their facilities in Port Harcourt and South South as a whole

Why didn't they tell us which other agency the detention center belongs to? EFCC be bold come out clean.

Nigerians are just too gullible, imagine an entire agency of government with guns, manpower and connection arrests a poor nobody what do you expect he will say? Or do? Of cos he will be reading their script.

Efcc's duty is financial crimes and advance fee fraud not fake news read the Act that established EFCC it didn't give them such powers to arrest just anybody especially for fake news.

abegi,park....
that basstard should face firing squard....

why waste money on the morafvcker for trials....??

Gosh,it belongs to another agency , what fvckry,

3 years imprisonment will be good for the nonentity. There are plenty of them here on Nairaland. They thrive on fake news

daddytime:
How is the guy's crime if indeed true even related to economic or financial crimes?

So, the EFCC will play both judge and jury in her own case.

It is well.

A lot of people will not understand you. Its just like Road Safety impounding your car for "lying" against them.
This guy might just have succeeded in catching efcc with his bait. Next he will sue them for illegal detention and acting outside the confines of their duties.
