A TikToker, Endurance Udeke, has jumped to his death during a sting operation, says the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The anti-graft agency described his jump as “suicidal”.
Mr Udeke, until his demise, resided in apartment W6a, Periwinkle Estate, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
“Operatives of the commission were in the estate to carry out a sting operation on November 4, 2025. The operation was smooth sailing in all the apartments, and four suspected internet fraudsters were arrested.
“However, Udeke and one other resident of apartment W6a got wind of the operation and tried to escape arrest by jumping down from the four-storey building. Udeke did not survive the suicidal efforts, in spite of medical interventions made to rescue him. The other resident, however, survived after being stabilised and treated at the hospital,” said the EFCC in absolving itself of the TikToker’s jump to death.
The EFCC expressed shock “at the suicidal action of the deceased”.
The anti-graft agency added, “There was no contact between officers of the Commission and the deceased before the unfortunate incident. The Commission reported the incident to the police, which has begun an investigation into the incident.”
