The Nigeria Police Force has officially declared Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of Frank Nneji, the founder of renowned interstate transport company ABC Transport, wanted for alleged involvement in cybercrime activities. This declaration, made public late Tuesday night by the National Cybercrime Center (NPF-NCC) in Abuja, was disseminated through the Force’s verified social media platforms, sending ripples across the nation’s business and social circles.
According to the police statement, Miss Nneji is being sought in connection with offences including criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking. Investigations reveal that between August and September 2024, she and her associates allegedly orchestrated a series of coordinated cyberbullying and blackmail campaigns targeting an Abuja-based businessman, whose identity remains undisclosed for security reasons. The police allege that these actions were carried out through various social media platforms, with the intent to harass and defame the businessman.
The case gained significant public attention on September 24, 2024, when popular social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, issued a stern video ultimatum addressed to Miss Nneji. In the viral clip, Otse demanded that she retract the contentious posts and issue a public apology within 24 hours, threatening to release evidence and escalate the matter if his demands were not met. Despite the mounting pressure, neither Miss Nneji nor her family has issued any official statement regarding the allegations or the police declaration as of the time of this report.
The Nigeria Police Force has called on members of the public with any information about Miss Nneji’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or reach out directly to the National Cybercrime Center in Abuja. The development has sparked widespread discussions, especially given the high profile of the Nneji family in Nigeria’s business community.
This unfolding saga highlights the growing seriousness with which Nigerian authorities are treating cyber-related offences, especially those involving high-profile individuals. As the search intensifies, all eyes remain on the police and the Nneji family for the next move in this high-stakes drama
