Days after its Reporter, Stanley Ugagbe, was allegedly kidnapped, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of Secrets Reporters, Tega Oghenedoro, popular as Fejiro Oliver has been invited by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre, NPF-NCCC, for questioning over an ongoing investigation into alleged offenses bordering on espionage, cyberstalking, and computer-related crimes.
Ugagbe was alleged to have been kidnapped after close of work on Wednesday, the 1st of July, 2026, by officers of the NIgerian Police Force in connection with a report published by
SecretsReporters titled:
“EXCLUSIVE: CBN Deputy Governor, Emem Usoro Linked to N3.6bn Los Angeles Property Amid Questions Over Asset Declaration Compliance (Part 2)”.
He was, however, released on Monday, July 6, 2026, by 7:30pm to the President of the International Press Institute, IPI, Mojeed Muskilu, who was on ground to ensure he was not detained further.
A letter dated 6 July 2026, with reference number CR: 3000/X/NPF-NCCC/FHQ/ABJ/TDP-LM/VOL.1/364, was issued by the National Cybercrime Centre and addressed to Oghenedoro at the media organization’s office in Wuye, Abuja.
According to the letter, the Cybercrime Centre stated that it is investigating “a case of espionage, cyberstalking, and computer-related offenses in which his name featured prominently.
The Police further requested that the publisher should report to the National Cybercrime Centre for an interview through the Assistant Director, Defence and Protection Unit, NPF-NCCC Abuja.
The invitation is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 8th July 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre office, Plot 625, Mission Road, Diplomatic Zone, Abuja.
The letter further directed the invitee to contact a phone number listed in it for directions upon arrival.
It concluded by requesting his cooperation with the investigation, stating that it will be highly appreciated.
The invitation letter was signed by DCP Olufemi Akinola, Deputy Director (Operations), NPF-NCCC, Abuja.
Ugagbe while in custody was accused by the FG through the Police
of leaking government documents through its medium and spying on the government to foreign countries.
Oghenedoro has, however, debunked such a claim, in which the Secrets Reporters Publisher stressed that
he’s currently not out of Nigeria, reassuring his readiness to answer the invitation as soon as he gets back to the country.
