EFCC Condemns Skit Makers For Caricature, Claims Its Operatives Are Not Bullies Despite Assaults

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again condemned the illegal and irresponsible use of its operational identities for skit-making. The EFCC warned skit makers and social workers that it would not hesitate to bring to book anyone caught displaying its operational identities for any engagement.

This is contained in a statement by the Commission that condemned the video code-named ‘EFCC and Army Wahala’, which is regaining traction across social media.

The EFCC said it is a caricature of the operational etiquette of the Commission. It also described the act as a shameful characterisation of its Operatives and a deliberate attempt to cast shadows on its image.

The commission claimed that its operatives are not bullies, but rather trained as refined modern law enforcement officers “rich in decency, civility and respect for members of the public, including suspects of economic and financial crimes.”

Meanwhile, it will be recalled that West Africa Weekly reported that video footage shared by users on X, formerly Twitter, showed the bizarre scene where officials of the EFCC invaded Annex and Regional hotels in Isashi, Ojo, Lagos, allegedly broke into rooms, assaulted guests and workers, and stole ATM cards, money, and phones.

Although the officers were identified in the viral video and the Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, ordered the immediate arrest of two officers and mandated an investigation into the operation at the hotel, no action has been taken so far.
