Skitmaker Sabinus Reacts to Viral EFCC Wanted Rumours with Humour
Nigerian skitmaker and content creator Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ijekwu, widely known as Sabinus, has responded to viral rumours alleging that he is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The controversy erupted after a poster claiming the comedian had been declared wanted by the anti-graft agency spread rapidly across social media platforms.
EFCC Swiftly Debunks False Claims
The EFCC quickly addressed the rumours, dismissing them as false and misleading. In a post on Twitter, the commission wrote: "Clout chaser, stop this now!" The agency followed up with a warning on Instagram, stating: "Beware of fake news ❌." This prompt response aimed to curb the spread of misinformation and clarify the situation for the public.

Background on Sabinus' Personal Life Rumours
This incident is not the first time Sabinus has faced viral rumours. Previously, he addressed speculation about his marital status. During a live stream session with Carter Efe, Sabinus clarified that he is not married, explaining that a past relationship ended peacefully. He stated that he remains on good terms with his child's mother, Ciana Chapman.
In 2024, rumours emerged claiming Sabinus' marriage was on the verge of collapse, with allegations of domestic violence, cheating, and financial neglect. However, both Sabinus and Ciana later debunked these reports, dismissing them as unfounded.
Sabinus' Stance Against False Blogging
Sabinus has previously expressed displeasure with bloggers who spread false news about celebrities. In a past incident, he shared a private conversation with a blogger who admitted to posting fake reports about him. The blogger claimed it was done out of love, but Sabinus highlighted the damaging effects such actions can have on public figures' reputations.
This ongoing issue underscores the challenges celebrities face in managing their online presence and combating misinformation. Sabinus' humorous approach to the EFCC rumours reflects a strategy to diffuse tension while addressing false claims head-on.
The rapid spread of the EFCC wanted poster and Sabinus' subsequent reaction illustrate the power of social media in shaping public perception. While the EFCC's quick response helped clarify the truth, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before sharing it online.
