The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) vehemently condemns the unauthorized utilization of its operational identities for skit production. The video titled “EFCC and Army Wahala,” which is circulating on social media, underscores the imperative for the Commission to reiterate its stern caution to skit creators and other social content producers against the unlawful and irresponsible appropriation of the Commission’s operational identities.
The aforementioned video, a satire on the operational protocols of the EFCC, portrays a regrettable characterization of purported Commission operatives inflicting intimidation on “suspects.” This portrayal not only engenders embarrassment but also suggests a deliberate effort to cast a negative light on the image of the EFCC.
It is crucial to emphasize that EFCC operatives are not synonymous with bullying. They undergo extensive training as modern law enforcement officers, embodying principles of decency, civility, and respect for members of the public, including individuals suspected of economic and financial crimes.
Skit creators are strongly cautioned once again to refrain from the unauthorized use of EFCC’s identities in the pursuit of their craft. The Commission is resolute in its commitment to taking decisive action against anyone found displaying its operational identities for any form of engagement. Such actions will be met with swift consequences, as the EFCC remains dedicated to upholding the integrity of its operational framework.
