Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Udoma David Ekeh, a TikTok user, for allegedly disseminating false information about the Commission and its officers.
In December 2025, Ekeh reportedly informed the public that operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC were kidnapped by bandits while on an assignment in Kwara State. He further suggested that the bandits demanded a substantial ransom from the EFCC before releasing the officers.
Investigations have confirmed that these claims are entirely fabricated, and that Ekeh used his TikTok account to mislead the public and undermine the Commission’s ongoing efforts to combat internet fraud.

Preliminary investigations also indicate that the suspect is involved in a romance scam, reportedly using his Facebook account to impersonate a foreigner under the name Garg Carta.
Ekeh is expected to be charged to court in the coming days.
