If you have watched the current trending Netflix Documentary “The Tinder Swindler” you will be very much familiar with the phrase “my enemies are after me”. This line happens to be everyone’s favorite including the admirable suspended super cop, Abba Kyari. This is the line used by Simon Leviev, the main character in the documentary whenever he wants to defraud his victims.
The story of Simon Leviev is an interesting one that Netflix had to make a documentary out of. Simon Leviev is a serial fraudster who uses fake affluence and “borrow pose” material things to entrap his victims who are mostly women; he will make them to fall in love with him and his faked affluent lifestyle, afterwards he will start demanding money from the unsuspecting women using different tricks like “his enemies are after him”, his enemies are out to kill him and his bodyguard, his bodyguard have been shot, etc and this will force his victims to be sympathetic and worried about him and give him whatever he asks for.
Little did we know that the erstwhile commander of the IRT is a huge fan of Simon Leviev for him to have been heard to quote the same line after he was arrested and handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for the offense of cocaine trading and drug trafficking which he was caught red handed.

During one of the interrogations, he was heard to have quoted the famous Simon Leviev line: my enemies, the eastern security network (ESN) are after me, they are out to destroy my life and my reputation, they are the ones setting me up and making traps for me.
The suspended senior police officer was not detailed enough to share with his interrogators how far the Eastern Security Network (ESN) his so-called enemies have gone in chasing after him. Are they the ones that gave him wraps of cocaine to sell for them? Are they also the ones that asked him to try to bribe an NDLEA Officer, he also didn’t give out details for the public to know if the ESN are the ones that linked him up with the international fraudster, Hushpuppi for them to become business partners and collaborators.
The suspended DCP should do well and give more details about all these to the public if he really wants the public to be sympathetic with him that he is a pious man but his enemies are the ones that are actually after him to destroy him and his super cop’s legacy.
Recall that the super cop was first linked with the Hushpuppi’s fraud empire which led to his suspension from the police force, on Monday, the 14th of February 2022, he was declared wanted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for drug related offenses. He has since then been arrested and in detention.
