Dorcas Adeyinka Has Cases To Answer; She Can't Be Delisted From Wanted List, Says Youth Alliance

The South West Youth Alliance has called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, to ignore a baseless call by a group asking for the delisting of Dorcas Adeyinka from the wanted List

In response to a press briefing held by a group called the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR), Adenike Ajanlekoko, the Publicity Director of the Alliance, stated on Monday, May 19, 2025, that the office of the Force Police Public Relations Officer (FPRO) was justified in declaring Dorcas wanted. This declaration was made because Dorcas has a pending case involving allegations of murder, cyberstalking, abduction, threats to life, and extortion.

"We recall that the Nigeria Police Force arrested the popular Facebook Video Blogger, Dorcas Adeyinka, for alleged murder and cyber-related offences. Dorcas was once declared wanted by the police for murder, cyberstalking, Abduction, Threat to Life and Extortion after several invitations were sent to her, but she refused to make herself available for questioning while she continuously maligned the police force on her social media platforms.

"Dorcas Adeyinka's ascent to fame started when she realised the power of anonymity. Behind the screens of her computer and smartphone, she set out on a one-woman mission to humiliate and destroy her targets. With a remarkable ability to identify the weaknesses of others, she unleashed a ceaseless torrent of insults and disparaging remarks, frequently coupled with cyberbullying and public humiliation. Her actions have repeatedly violated the law in different ways.

"We wish to remind the so-called Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights that Dorcas Adeyinka violated the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act of 2015 in Nigeria. Section 24 of this act criminalises cyberbullying and protects against online attacks on a person's reputation or character.

"Since her actions have caused her victims a great deal of mental, emotional, and psychological distress, Dorcas Adeyinka's persistent bullying and disparaging remarks about them definitely fall under this law. She intimidates her targets with a series of chats that humiliate them in public.

"Furthermore, Dorcas Adeyinka's actions are consistent with another violation of the 2018 Cyberstalking Act in Nigeria. The problem of online harassment and stalking is especially addressed by this law.

"Dorcas Adeyinka's frequent use of various social media platforms to harass and target specific people is an example of the kind of behaviour that the law aims to stop. According to the statute, cyberstalking is a crime that carries a heavy fine and perhaps jail time for those found guilty.

"On a final note, we wish to enlighten the ignorance of the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights that it is not the FPRO, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, who placed Dorcas Adeyinka's name on the wanted list, but the Nigeria Police as an institution. Therefore, name-calling of ACP Muyiwa Adejobi is mischievous, aimed at diverting the attention of Nigerians away from her case of murder, cyberstalking, Abduction, Threat to Life and Extortion, which are being investigated by the Force Intelligence Department (IRT) and National Cybercrime Centre, Abuja.

Engr. Dikko's Tenure As PHRC MD Was Transparent And Accountable - Alliance

 

The Integrity Youth Alliance has said that the listing of Engr. Ahmed Dikko in a report by Punch Newspaper is mischievous and an attempt to tarnish his transparent and meritorious service at the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC).

Reacting to the report in Punch Newspaper titled "$3bn refinery fraud: N80bn found in sacked MD’s bank accounts," the National Coordinator of the Alliance, Kelvin Adegbenga, said that it was on record that Engr. Ahmed Dikko operated the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) under the Transparency, Accountability, and Performance Excellence Agenda.

"It would be recalled that the Federal Government, under former President Muhammadu Buhari, had in March 2021 secured a 1.5 billion dollar loan to rehabilitate the facility. The contract was awarded to an Italian firm, Tecnimont S.P.A., a subsidiary of Maire Tecnimont Group.

"Engr. Ahmed Dikko, as Managing Director of the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC), has little to do with the contract award, as the Federal Government awarded the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery, and it covers the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC) of the refinery.

"He had pushed the rehabilitation to over 65% completion before he was further given the responsibility to advise the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of NNPC Limited on refinery rehabilitation.

"It is on record that Dikko's greatest goal and accomplishment was bringing back the nation’s refineries to life as soon as possible.

"One of Dikko's achievements is the completion and commissioning of the 60,000-barrel-old refinery in November last year, after over 25 years of non-operation. The refinery is still operational. Work on the new 150,000-barrel refinery is well advanced and nearly complete. The loan for the project was $1billion from Afrixem Bank

"His transparency and accountability as the Managing Director of the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) earned him commendations, recognitions and awards.

"We therefore condemned listing his names among the officials the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is investigating for abuse of office and misappropriation of funds, Adegbenga said.
