The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned skit markers to stop using its operational identities illegally and irresponsibly.
This was made known in a press release issued by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Dele Oyewale today.
“A video, code-named: “EFCC and Army Wahala” gaining traction across the social media, once again, compels the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to reiterate its warning to skit makers and other social workers to desist from using the operational identities of the Commission illegally and irresponsibly.
“EFCC and Army Wahala is a caricature of the operational etiquette of the EFCC. The shameful characterization of supposed operatives of the Commission in the video unleashing terror on “suspects”, is not only embarrassing but indicative of deliberate attempt to cast shadows on the image of the EFCC,” the Commission stated.
The anti-corruption agency also said they are not oppressors, adding that its officials are trained professionals.
“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.”
EFCC reiterated its warning to the thespians, stressing that it will not hesitate to bring to book anyone caught displaying its operational identities for any engagement.
