Abubakar Balarabe had invested time and effort in a draft they'd created about a Slovak entrepreneur at draft:Marian Gazdik. They were the sole contributor to the draft, with 30 edits over three days in September. I believe they were UPE, as did another editor who challenged them on their talk page. On the day of their last edit, we see a Slovakian IP 92.52.20.139 come along and make a couple of minor edits. Balarabe was indeffed on 16 October. On 20 October we see a new SPA, Friday2023 take over where Balarabe left off, moving the draft into mainspace (something that Balarabe had a habit of doing). Today the Slovenian IP is back to make the lead a bit more promo.

Off-wiki and behavioural evidence suggests Balarabe was connected to other active editors in the same Nigerian town. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sadeeqzaria/Archive.
