Addressing journalists, the command's spokesperson, SP Chidi  Nwabuzor, said the police had in January declared the suspect wanted in the Special Police Gazette Bulletin.

"On  January 11, the commissioner of police received a petition from the Chairman, Nigerian Union of Journalist, Edo State Council; Comrade Festus Alenkhe, over alleged offence of cyber bullying/stalking and defamation of character, against one Rachael Eboni Osazee Iyonmana.

He said in the course of investigation, the police declared the suspect wanted in the Special Police Gazette Bulletin.

He said the command wrote a letter to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Force CID Annex, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos State, adding that while the Police was on her trail to effect her arrest,  intelligence revealed that the suspect was in Canada.

SP Chidi said the suspect opened multiple facebook accounts, using the petitioner's photographs and full name on the facebook, and used demeaning, derogatory languages to defame the petitioner's personality. 

"The suspect used the internet space to bully and even defame his character with defamatory and demeaning languages . 

According to him, on the February 13, investigation revealed that after she was declared wanted, the suspect who based in Canada, also went out of her way and created different  Facebook accounts using the complainant's picture and continuing transmitting messages as if  the complainant is the one transmitting them.

"We want to make the public aware that those Facebook accounts created by Rachael (suspect) were  not the handy work of the complainant. The suspect did that to make people believe that Festus is the one doing it"

"From investigation, Rachael is based  in Canada, therefore, anybody with the information to her presence in Nigeria, should informed the police and the information would be entertained by the office of the commissioner of police, PPRO and Anti-kidnapping and cyber crime unit and the informant would be rewarded with N5 million".

He said the Nigeria Police have synergized with Nigerian
