Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Nigerian police arrested Pidom owner, Bristol Isaac Tamunoibifiri, in his hotel room on August 5, 2024, in Rivers state. READ MORE HERE
On Friday, an intervention team involving Omoyele Sowore, David Hundeyin, Raphael Adebayo, Deji Adeyanju and FIJ was able to establish that the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) housed Bristol after the National Cybercrime Center (NCCC) tracked and abducted him from a location in Nigeria’s southeast.
Isaac told representatives of this team that the police abducted and kept him in solitary confinement for at least six days in an anti-kidnapping unit before transferring him to a different facility. He later ended up in the FCID’s custody.
Adeyanju, who saw Isaac in custody on Friday, told FIJ in a telephone interview that the microblogger relayed how the police broke into his house and abducted him.
In our several conversations, PIDOM alluded many times to having multi-factor authentication and multiple layers of security on all his social media accounts and electronic devices. The idea that I would be able to login to his account using only a username and password – no 2FA code from the supposedly destroyed phone containing the authenticator apps – meant that someone had systematically gained control over all his internet accounts. That phone was definitely not destroyed in the “scuffle” that allegedly culminated in his arrest.
According to this unidentified person, PIDOM’s instructions to him/her were that if anything were to happen to him, the login details of his account should be handed over to me. Supposedly, his phone was destroyed during the arrest and given the alleged lack of evidence tying him to the Twitter handle, a case for his innocence could be made stronger if I used his account and tweeted in his voice. Supposedly, this person said, he had been granted administrative bail with “stringent conditions.”
