Professional rigor that turns into criminal harassment. The Platform for Combating Cybercrime (PLCC) revealed on Friday, March 13, 2026, the arrest of an individual who had targeted the headmistress of a school.

The trigger: Rigorous personnel management

It all started after the Christmas holidays. Faced with repeated absences and unjustified lateness from her team, the director, Ms. DCAD, decided to crack down by applying disciplinary sanctions. Two employees, again absent without reason after returning to work, received a formal warning.

An escalation of verbal violence

Shortly after these measures were implemented, the manager became the target of an unknown individual. She received a series of exceptionally violent messages on her phone:

1. Unprovoked insults and defamation .
2. Death threats targeting him and his family.
3. Security threat : the individual promises to set fire to the establishment.

The investigation and the arrest

Cornered, the director filed a complaint with the PLCC. Technical expertise from the National Cybersecurity Agency of France (ANSSI) traced the messages back to their author: someone named KKPD.

During his interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime. His motive? Family revenge. He claimed to have acted out of anger to defend his aunt, who was in conflict with the school principal.

The legal consequences

Despite his apologies and expressions of regret, KKPD was brought before the judicial authorities. He is being prosecuted under Law No. 2013-451 of June 19, 2013, concerning the fight against cybercrime, for:

1. Threats and insults using an information system.

Note: This incident serves as a reminder that digital anonymity is an illusion and that threats made via social networks or private messaging are punishable by heavy criminal penalties in Ivory Coast.
