He also holds Diploma in Cybersecurity and Spectrum Monitoring.

He joined the EFCC in 2003 and rose through the ranks to become principal detective and director of operations.

Chukkol was at a point at the FBI National Academy, Quantico.

His former place of assignment include the head, the Port Harcourt’s zonal office of the EFCC before he was transferred back to the headquarters in Abuja.
