Benin – Criet: the TikToker Flapacha Premier is put in jail

Introduced to the Court for the Repression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism (Criet) this Thursday, August 14, 2025, the TikToker known under the pseudonym “Flapacha Premier” has been sent to prison.

His arrest dates back to Friday, August 8, 2025, following a report from the social network TikTok. The National Digital Investigation Center (CNIN) reproaches him for broadcasting two videos in which he appears to be kidnapping and assaulting another content creator, “Jérémie Degamer”.

The initial findings of the investigation reveal that this scene was just a set-up orchestrated by the two protagonists. The parties involved simulated a kidnapping and confinement, then initiated calls for contributions during live broadcasts to “help” the supposed victim.

Several hours after hearing them, the special prosecutor’s office decided to proceed with Flapacha under warrant of arrest. According to the information gathered, exploitation of data from his phone revealed cybercriminal activities.
