The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a TikTok user following allegations made in late December about the kidnapping of EFCC operatives in Kwara State
In a statement on Wednesday signed by the agency’s Director of Public Relations and Protocol, Dr Suleiman Haruna, the TikTok user, identified as Udoma David Ekeh, known as @davysoft231, allegedly claimed in a video that officers of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate were kidnapped by bandits during an EFCC raid in Kwara State.
He further alleged that the bandits demanded ransom from the commission before releasing the officers and suggested that the EFCC was unable to handle the situation effectively.
“EFCC has arrested Udoma David Ekeh, a TikTok user @davysoft231, for spreading false information about the commission and its officers.
“Ekeh, in December 2025, alerted the public that some operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the commission were kidnapped by bandits while on an assignment in a location in Kwara State.
“He also insinuated that the bandits demanded huge ransom from the EFCC before releasing the purported officers,” the statement read.
