The National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is set to arraign whistleblower Isaac Bristol aka PIDOM.
He will be arraigned on Tuesday before Justice Emeka Nwite of a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The whistleblower, QEDNG learnt, will be arraigned on a nine-count charge.
According to court documents, 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.
He is facing money laundering additional allegations, as the police claimed that the funds he obtained were derived from unlawful activities.
The ninth charge on the court document accused PIDOM of tampering with evidence by destroying his Tecno Phantom X phone and attempting to flush it down the water system of the hotel where he was arrested.
PIDOM was arrested on August 5 in his hotel room in Rivers State.
