Okolo, the master, began editing in 2011. His second edit was to Esan people, which is one of the two focuses of his edits. There are many deleted articles related to the Esan language. One recently created (they are almost always deleted) is Esan (Edo) Language, which was actually created by puppet BelloAbo. The other focus of Okolo's edits is about a person named Christopher Oseodion Aburime, a supposed Nigerian American who works on Esan-related topics. If you look at the long list of Okolo's deleted contributions, you can see the two focuses by the deleted pages. The puppets have all contributed to these articles and the accounts were all created in late August 2013.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:25, 31 August 2013 (UTC) Bbb23 (talk) 15:25, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Based on the very definite behavioral and checkuser connections, I'm blocking all the accounts, with the master for two weeks. Another checkuser might want to see if I missed any. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:41, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weren't you just made a CU, Reaper? If so, what an introduction. I figured there would be sleepers.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this is the first case I checked. I just checked the whole IP range again, and everybody else is behaviorally unrelated, and the no-edit accounts are unlikely based on technical evidence. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:35, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
