Instagram Comedian, Pankeeroy Breaks Silence Over His Arrest

Instagram comedian, Nwagbo Oliver Chidera, popularly known as Pankeeroy, has explained that he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, based on discreet information that he is a digital currency enthusiast.

Also thanking his fans for their support, he stated that none of his properties were seized by the anti-graft agency

His lawyers however said he was released “as there was no form of nexus linking him to the purported commission of the investigated crime”.  

The comedian was arrested alongside 34 others in April 2021, by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for alleged involvement in computer-related fraud but has now regained his freedom.
