There is no doubt that one of the most engaging Twitter handles on Nigerian Twitter is that of the @officialEFCC. The account is popular for being interactive, engaging and educative. It made the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission digitally known.
As such, there has been fierce debate about the nature of its tweets which can sometimes be hilarious and humorous.
This generated a good following for the account and has always made people wonder who is handling the account.
You do not need to wonder anymore as the face behind the handle has been revealed. Wait for it. Drums roll….He is F.SHAW @FshawKingFisher. He is a Songwriter/Recording and performing Artiste/New Motown/Occasional Genius/Accidental Satirist/Comms God/Not That Famous…But Famous People Know Me according to his Twitter profile.
The reason for this august revelation is likely due to the fact that he no longer handles the account. How did we come to this conclusion?
This tweet by @OfficialEFCC says it all.
You are an excellent communicator; you are special. Good luck for the future and thank you for your service @FshawKingFisher, "The Handler". pic.twitter.com/cm6hljAxCn

And we round off with the comment of JJ. Omojuwa and Dr Joe Abbah
We did so well to keep the identity of @FshawKingFisher private that even many @officialEFCC staff didn't know he was the handler.

The next handler has been a huge mountain to climb because FSHAW has raised the @officialEFCC account to a level that cannot be dropped. This is because so people so much love FSHAW that they have stopped following @officialEFCC. This was exactly what my colleague did when she heard that the handler no longer handles the account.
