The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has cautioned social workers and creators of skits to stop abusing and misusing the Commission’s operating identities.
EFCC was reportedly responding to a film that was going viral on social media and was code-named “EFCC and Army Wahala.”
The anti-graft agency’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, claimed in a statement on Wednesday that the “EFCC and Army Wahala” is a parody of the EFCC’s operational protocol.
He claimed that the deplorable portrayal of purported EFCC agents terrorising “suspects” in the film is not just humiliating but also a conscious attempt to damage the organization’s reputation.
Oyewale said, “Operatives of the EFCC are not bullies. They are 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.
“Skit makers are warned again to desist from unauthorized use of the identities of the EFCC to ply their trade. The Commission will not hesitate to bring to book anyone caught displaying its operational identities for any engagement.”
