The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) has declared Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of renowned businessman and ABC Transport founder Frank Nneji, wanted over a string of alleged cybercrime offences.
In a bulletin released by the Office of the Inspector-General of Police, Nneji is being sought in connection with alleged criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.
The police have called for her immediate arrest and have instructed that she be handed over to the nearest police station or directly to the NPF-NCCC headquarters in Abuja.
Her last known residence, according to the bulletin, is located in Victoria Garden City, Lagos.
This police action follows closely on the heels of a high-profile legal battle Nneji initiated at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Just months ago, she filed a defamation lawsuit against popular online activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known by his social media moniker “VeryDarkMan”, as well as controversial influencer Kemi Olunloyo and legal practitioner Henry Ikenna Uzochukwu.
The dispute stemmed from a series of online posts in which VeryDarkMan accused Nneji of making damaging allegations about her ex-husband and allegedly misrepresenting herself as a licensed American travel nurse.
He also claimed she had undergone several cosmetic procedures, including a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
What began as an online altercation has now escalated into a full-fledged criminal investigation, drawing national attention and prompting law enforcement to issue a public alert.
The police have urged members of the public with any information on Nneji’s whereabouts to come forward and assist with the investigation by contacting the nearest police authority or the NPF-NCCC.
The case continues to unfold amid increasing scrutiny over online conduct and the rise of cyber defamation in Nigeria’s digital space.
