Before I go any further, let me publicly confirm that the original owner of this account is in fact, the one behind it right now.
Let me also confirm publicly that this person has now been fully bought and paid for by the government. Whatever his motivations may or may not have been when he initially started doing the "anonymous whistleblower" thing, he is now 100% owned and controlled by whoever was behind his arrest in August.
There are many things I could say, but I'll just restrict myself to these few key points:
1. After I led the media campaign that forced the police to charge him in court instead of keeping him in the FCID dungeon, this fellow - from his cell at Kuje Prison - tried to entrap me in a scheme that would have forever destroyed my credibility and put me in legal trouble that could have followed me anywhere in the world. I trust absolutely no one, so I recorded the entire 54 minute call in the event that a day like this might come. I have uploaded the relevant 6-minute segment of it here. Another well known person here was also on this call and you can hear her voice in the recording. If she wishes to, she will identify herself.
2. The number that he used to make that call is in frame 2 below. He also used that number to reach out to multiple well wishers while he was in Kuje Prison. A contact of mine ran this number through the national SIM registration database and it turns out that it is registered to one Hassan Jibrin, whom I am made to understand is a Director at the Federal Ministry of Defense. Though I have since blocked it, I assume he is still using this number to reach out to people and solicit for money or entrap them like he tried to entrap me.
Whether "Hassan Jibrin" is actually a real identity or not, what I do know is that when someone facing a major national security lawsuit is remanded in prison by the government and immediately given access to a phone, and the next thing he does is to call other people he knows are being targeted by the government and start trying to get them to commit to do something illegal and unethical, I don't need to be Albert Einstein to work out that someone is putting him up to it, and that whatever deal he was offered for his freedom most likely involved giving his captors my head in exchange for his own.
3. Since we are talking about "traitors," maybe I will release the rest of the recording where this galactic asshole lambasted Deji Adeyanju, his lawyer who was representing him pro bono, calling him a "baby lawyer" and incompetent, boasting that someone told him that "Peter Obi will hire SANs" for him. In the end, it was the same Deji who got him out on bail, after which he went and acted that drama for the cameras in the courtroom, hugging Deji as if he hadn't destroyed him behind his back.
Let's also talk about "traitors" who get caught by the government after doing what they say is public interest work, and then they give up everyone who gave them information or helped them. Let's talk about the biggest traitor of 2024 who got caught up in his own web of nonsense, ended up in secret detention, and then got his brother to try to convince David Hundeyin to impersonate him, a missing person - making me an accessory to a crime in the event that he actually ended up dead, which he very nearly did.
I held my tongue since September because I felt that it was not my place to destroy this PIDOM fraud, but now that your itchy fingers have carried you to where you shouldn't go, I'm only too happy to indulge you.

I have since come to understand that the entire "PIDOM" thing was completely contrived. It was a cheap gimmick for extracting donations from the public under the guise of public interest whistleblowing.
This random Port Harcourt abobi saw my work and its crowdfunding model, and as a typical Nigerian, couldn't rest until he thought, "How can I take advantage of this and collect my own share?" That's how he came up with the gimmick of calling himself an "investigative journalist" and threatening Nigerians every 4 market days for not sending him money.
"PIDOM" was just a content creator using a successful gimmick that even I fell for at a stage (after I had spent close to a year initially ignoring him because I thought his work was crude, his persona was hubristic, and his constant threatening the public for not sending him money was suspicious).
After a while, the gimmick became so successful that the Borokiri guyman genuinely began believing that he was Nigeria's Che Guevara, which is when he got sloppy and started making the mistakes that ultimately got him caught, like sending people his personal bank details, and using the same POS shop for all his withdrawals.
Now he may be out of prison, but he is effectively a prisoner forever. He can't even physically leave Abuja. I hope the attention and the money was worth it (because there isn't even a lot of money to be had from crowdfunding in Nigeria - I would know).

"We lied to Nigerians... Buhari was also used and dumped, he's charisma was needed by the political elite to eliminate Jonathan.

Sowore and Co-Travellers’ Tantrums against EFCC’s Landmark Recovery
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is following with keen interest, the flurry of reactions to its record-breaking recovery of 753 duplexes and other apartments on Plot 109 Cadastral Zone C09, Lokogoma District, Abuja.
The commentaries of reform-minded Nigerians to the Commission’s painstaking efforts in securing the final forfeiture of the Estate to the Federal Government of Nigeria, are appreciated. However, the denigration of such efforts by Omowole Sowore and his think-same and act-same, is unacceptable and grossly un-charitable.
The allegation of a cover up of the identity of the promoters of the Estate stands logic on the head in the sense that the proceedings for the forfeiture of the Estate were in line with Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud Act which is a civil proceeding that allows for action-in-rem rather than action-in-personam. The latter allows legal actions against a property and not an individual, especially in a situation of an unclaimed property. This Act allows you to take up a forfeiture proceeding against a chattel that is not a juristic person. This is exactly what the Commission did in respect of the Estate.
The proceedings that yielded the final forfeiture of the Estate were products of actionable intelligence available to the Commission. The company flagged by our investigations denied ownership of the Estate following publications made in leading national newspapers. On the basis of this, the Commission approached the court for an order of final forfeiture which Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court granted on Monday, December 2, 2024.
The expectation of the EFCC from citizen Sowore is a patriotic appreciation of its efforts in securing such a landmark forfeiture. It is shocking that the activist is not concerned about the systemic lassitude and unhelpful permissiveness that allowed such a monstrous corrupt act in the first instance. Nigerians should gear up more against lapses and loopholes in our system that continue to make the nation vulnerable to corrupt tendencies. The EFCC will continue to safeguard the financial space of the nation against manipulators and organised brigandage.
It is important to note that the substantive criminal investigation on the matter still continues. It will be unprofessional of the EFCC to go to town by mentioning names of individuals whose identities were not directly linked to any title document of the properties. The EFCC is unwavering in its no-sacred-cow approach to every matter and together we will make Nigeria greater.

Sowore react releases Court documents
This is the most reckless and irresponsible statement I've read from a government agency in a long while. The assertions here are also patently irresponsible.
I have obtained court proceedings and an affidavit sworn to by an @officialEFCC investigator who named the names of those behind this real estate fraud. I maintain that referring to the person @GodwinIEmefiele smacks of an attempt to cover up his misdeeds and those of his collaborators; the truth is that the court proceedings tell otherwise. I will attach some court documents here so the public can see the @officialEFCC 's disservice in this matter.
