They also took away their phones after this dehumanization. I am sharing this for the whole world to see how irresponsible and unprofessional your agency can be.”
*EFCC Reaction*
The EFCC in an update on Saturday alleged that the suspects were attending a gathering related to internet fraud. EFCC wrote, “Operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested One Hundred and Twenty Seven (127) suspected internet fraudsters in Ondo State.” The commission also stated that items recovered from the suspects included ten exotic cars, phones, laptops, motorcycles, wristwatches, and many incriminating documents.
*Ondo Club Raid: Viral Video ‘Stage-Managed’, EFCC Denies Brutalising Suspects*
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied that its operatives brutalized or dehumanized suspects during a raid on two nightclubs in Akure, Ondo State. In a statement on Sunday by its Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the commission refuted the allegations, stating that no suspect was assaulted, brutalized, or subjected to any dehumanizing treatment during the operation.
*Dele Oyewale’s Statement*
“The Commission wishes to state that no suspect was assaulted, brutalised or subjected to any dehumanising treatment during the Saturday operation. It is also false that tear gas was fired at the crime scene. Those familiar with the Commission’s operations know that EFCC personnel do not use tear gas during sting operations. The officers that carried out the arrests neither came to the scene of crime with canisters of tear gas nor whips, to inflict bodily injuries on suspects.” Oyewale also stated that the viral video of two ladies with whip scars might have been stage-managed and that the commission would conduct a forensic analysis of the video to establish its authenticity.
