Police Declare Ihuoma Nneji Wanted Over Alleged Cybercrime

The Nigerian Police have declared Ihuoma Nneji—daughter of ABC Transport CEO, Frank Nneji—wanted over alleged involvement in cybercrime-related offences.

In a wanted notice posted on the Force’s official Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) accounts on Tuesday, April 15, the police cited charges of criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.

While official details remain scarce, police sources claim Ihuoma allegedly launched an online campaign between August and September 2024 to blackmail and harass an unidentified Abuja-based businessman.

The case gained public traction after social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, addressed the matter in a September 2024 video. Otse accused Ihuoma of spreading defamatory material online and demanded a public apology.

“You have 24 hours to take down that post and apologise,” Otse warned in the video. “If you don’t, I’ll release evidence to expose the truth.”

It is unclear if Ihuoma ever responded to the ultimatum. As of now, she remains at large, with police urging the public to come forward with any information regarding her whereabouts.

Neither Ihuoma nor her father, Frank Nneji, has publicly commented on the situation
