A Nigerian tech entrepreneur identified as Jude Bela has come out on Twitter (now known as X) to accuse the United Bank for Africa (UBA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of orchestrating a campaign of intimidation and wrongful accusations that lasted over three years. The entrepreneur, who recently concluded a 41-month court case, is calling for greater oversight of the EFCC, alleging abuse of power and procedural misconduct.

The entrepreneur claims his ordeal began on March 8, 2019, when he received a call from his bank informing him that his accounts had been frozen at the EFCC’s directive. “I was shocked and confused,” he said. “I hadn’t committed any crime, yet I was treated like a criminal.”

According to him, the situation escalated when EFCC agents arrested him and conducted a search of his home. “They took my personal documents, my laptop, and even my YouTube account information without explanation,” he alleged. He was detained for four days under what he described as “horrific” conditions before being granted bail.

The entrepreneur’s troubles reportedly stemmed from his financial activities, which he insists were legitimate earnings from his YouTube channel and other ventures. Despite providing documentation, including Google AdSense payment slips, to prove the legitimacy of his income, the EFCC allegedly refused to release his assets or close the case.

“The EFCC claimed my account transactions were suspicious because of my age,” he explained. “They treated me as guilty without evidence, and the banks supported their claims instead of protecting their customers.”

The legal battle involved not only the EFCC but also three major Nigerian banks, including UBA Plc, which allegedly cooperated with the commission in freezing his accounts. In court, the EFCC argued that the entrepreneur could not justify his income, while one of the banks stated that the activities on his account warranted suspicion.

“This was a direct attack on my integrity and my business,” he said. “The process was draining—both financially and emotionally.”

He expressed frustration over repeated adjournments and alleged intimidation by EFCC agents during the legal proceedings. Despite these challenges, the entrepreneur vowed not to back down and pursued the matter in court to clear his name and recover his seized assets.

“This experience has opened my eyes to the urgent need for checks and balances in the EFCC’s operations,” he said, calling on the government to intervene to prevent similar occurrences.

At the time of reporting, neither the EFCC nor UBA Plc had issued an official response to the allegations.

TRUE LOVE is very hard to find in this world. Many folks are out there looking for true love but they can’t find it. They venture in to different places, they search on the Radios and Televisions, they post in newspapers and others connect with different people on social networks like Facebook hoping to find someone special with true love but they don’t them. Their search is always in vain. Now they end up being loners and they hate love.

So if you are out there and you’ve got someone who worries about you, who cares about you, who loves you with all your flaws, who texts you all the time, who forgives you all the time, who calls on you daily no matter they have nothing to tell you but just to listen to your cooing voice and to tell you how much they love you, who spares time for you, who sacrifices the little they have for you, who fears to hurt you, who always makes you happy, who admits when they’re in wrong and they apologize to you, who understands you, who is patient to you and who respects you, just love that person genuinely.

Be faithful and trustworthy to them. Respect them and don’t take their love for granted. When you get misunderstandings with them, don’t let them tear you apart. Quickly resolve them prior they develop into big fights. Appreciate what they do for you and be proud of them. Do not take that person for granted, you just never know who is dying to replace you.
