Words by Ehimenim Agweh

When EFCC Nigeria drops a line on Twitter, you know it’s about to go down. The shade, the comebacks, the jokes have been nothing but classic Nigerian-isms; funny yet educating. All through the epic saga that is EFCC’s Twitter one thing remained constant: the secret of the person behind it. The mystery held until yesterday when EFCC pulled the curtains to reveal Mysterio’s face.

You are an excellent communicator; you are special. Good luck for the future and thank you for your service @FshawKingFisher, "The Handler". pic.twitter.com/cm6hljAxCn

Presenting the man of the hour, Olufemi Olukayode Adeyemi, a career rapper also known as F.Shaw. The former handler who goes by the moniker, FShaw was the person behind the witty and engaging tweets EFCC was known for delivering on Twitter. His rapid fire, lecturer style quips have burnt many an unsuspecting person as he educated the public on the dangers of fraud and the joys of whistleblowing.

Upon revealing their mystery man, Nigerian Twitter exploded with joy and sadness as the news was a bit of a shock to even those who constantly pestered EFFC for Adeyemi’s identity. Reactions ranged from wishing him well

We did so well to keep the identity of @FshawKingFisher private that even many @officialEFCC staff didn't know he was the handler.

Olufemi Adeyemi has gone on to pursue his music career and hopefully do greater things with his mastery of words and humour. The EFCC now has another mystery handler but Nigerians are still very much in love with the old one. But never fear because EFCC says

Worry not. There is no vacuum. #TheEagle will serve you with the same zeal and purpose.

If you didn’t know of Olufemi Adeyemi’s prowess before now, here are some of his greatest EFCC tweets for your amusement

A man is from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. A man is Nigerian. There will be no division on this timeline. #BetterUnited https://t.co/8ldEh1Vy9Q
