I’m Not PIDOM, Isaac Bristol Insists

Isaac Bristol, the man the National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) claims to be PIDOM, has insisted that he is not the leak journalist the Police believe he is.

In a written police statement obtained by FIJ, dated August 14, Bristol, through his lawyer Henry Peter Ekine, said he did not “know any name called PIDOM NIGERIA.”

Parts of the statement written by Bristol on August 14 reads:

“I do not know any name called PIDOM NIGERIA and as such, I do not have any association or connection whatsoever with the aforementioned name,” a part of the statement reads.

“Also, I do not know any name called TRUTHFULLY83 and as such, I do not have any association or connection whatsoever with the name.

“I know nothing about the creation of a Twitter account called the 99% OPPRESSED. In other words, I am not in any way involved in membership of the aforementioned Twitter account.

“I used Zico mentor to register a WhatsApp (with) account using 090904******.”

On Monday, Bristol was charged to the Federal High Court, Abuja on a nine-count charge.

Some of the charges against him include mobilising and soliciting support to “unduly compel” the government to act or abstain from certain acts through the #EndBadGovernance protest, false money-laundering allegations against President Bola Tinubu, and unlawfully obtaining, retaining and disseminating classified secret documents in contravention of the official Secret Act 1962.

Bristol cited “his inability to see clearly” as the reason he delegated the statement writing task to his lawyer.

On Tuesday, Justice Emeka Nwite, the judge presiding over the arraignment of Bristol, denied him bail.
