EFCC warns of improper use of its official assets in skits

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned skit makers against using the Commission’s official paraphernalia without permission.

This warning follows the resurfacing of an old video titled “EFCC and Army Wahala” on social media.

In a statement on its official X, formerly Twitter, handle on Monday, the EFCC expressed deep concerns about how its operatives are portrayed in skits.

The statement emphasised, “This compels the EFCC to reiterate its warning to skit makers and other social workers to desist from using the operational accoutrements of the Commission illegally and irresponsibly.”

The Commission described the video as a “caricature” of its actual protocols and standards.

The anti-graft agency further criticised the portrayal of its operatives as bullies, stating that this depiction is far from the truth.

The statement added, “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.”
