A divisional police officer serving in Delta State has shared the concerning account of a 17-year-old male student who allegedly compromised the WhatsApp accounts of several notable figures and subsequently offered explicit content to his classmates. The discovery was made following a standard phone inspection conducted by officers on a student within a school environment.

Temi Agbede-Zuokumor, the Divisional Police Officer of the Ugborikoko Division in Uvwie Local Government Area, shared these details during an interaction with popular comedian Otaghware Onodjayeke, also known as I Go Save. Officer Agbede-Zuokumor explained that the situation was brought to light when police officers encountered the student. Initially, the student's mother attempted to claim the device belonged to his sister, but her explanation lacked consistency, prompting further investigation by the authorities.

"The woman appeared very modest, so I inquired if she was affiliated with Deeper Life. She denied it. I then questioned why her son brought a phone to school, and she stated it belonged to his sister," Agbede-Zuokumor recounted.

Her suspicions were aroused, leading the officers to examine the phone. "Something prompted me to check the phone. Upon doing so, we found that all the contents on the device belonged to the boy," she stated.

Upon inspection, the phone reportedly contained a substantial amount of explicit material and over 80 foreign contacts, including numerous Australian phone numbers. The DPO noted, "We found several foreign numbers, more than 80 Australian lines, and the phone was loaded with pornographic content."

Further disclosures indicated that the teenager allegedly engaged in selling explicit content to his classmates, who reportedly referred to him as 'boss.'

"We also observed chats with his classmates asking if he had explicit content available for sale. They addressed him as ‘boss’ at school," she added.

Additionally, investigations allegedly revealed that the student had gained unauthorized access to the WhatsApp accounts of certain celebrities. He purportedly used these compromised accounts to extort money from unsuspecting individuals.

"We discovered he had access to the WhatsApp accounts of some celebrities, which he then used to demand money from unsuspecting victims," she stated.

Video footage of her account has been made available.
