 Police Break Silence On Arrest Of Whistleblower PIDOM


Officials from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) have apprehended Bristol Tamunobiefiri, also known as PIDOM.


The arrest took place on August 5, 2024, in his hotel room in Rivers State.


A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobion said he was arrested on allegations of ā€œcommitting serious offences that undermine the integrity of government operationsā€.


The statement added that there were several allegations levelled against the suspect, including unlawful possession, leakages of classified documents, cyber-related offences, and others.


ā€œWe will do due diligence in carrying out a thorough investigation into the cases.ā€


The statement further added that the force will leave no stone unturned to continually enforce the law and bequeath to Nigerians a more secure nation.


The confirmation comes after investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, revealed that the anonymous whistleblower on X.com, 99% Oppressed, who tweets as #PIDOMNIGERIA, is alive in police custody and will be arraigned in court next week.


Recall that in an article titled ā€œSOS Alert: PIDOM NIGERIA Is Missing (And I Think We May Know Who Has Him),ā€ Hundeyin had earlier announced his disappearance, alleging the involvement of Nigerian authorities.


His post sparked concern among the Nigerian online community, prompting a trending campaign on X.com calling for the whereabouts and release of PIDOM Nigeria using hashtags like #PIDOM, #FreePidom, and #WhereisPidom, among others.


ā€œAccording to the police, he will be arraigned in court next week.ā€
