EFCC STATEMENT

DSS’ Siege on Our Lagos Office Shocking - EFCC

The operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arrived at their office on No. 15 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, this morning, May 30, 2023, to be denied entry by agents of the Department of State Services, DSS, who had barricaded the entrance with armoured personnel carriers.

This development is strange to the Commission, given that we have cohabited with the DSS in that facility for 20 years without incident.

By denying operatives access to their offices, the Commission’s operations at its largest hub with over 500 personnel, hundreds of exhibits, and many suspects in detention have been disrupted.

Cases scheduled for a court hearing today have been aborted, while many suspects invited for questioning are left unattended. Even more alarming is that suspects in detention are left without care, with grave implications for their rights as inmates.

These have wider implications for the nation’s fight against economic and financial crimes.

The siege is inconsistent with the synergy expected of agencies working for the same government and nation, especially when there are ongoing discussions on the matter.

The authorities should step in and settle this fracas. Let's stop showing the world that we are an unserious country for once.

DSS should Chanel there search to EMEFIELE Before he escape

A new sheriff is in town

Maybe it is time South gets a shot at chairmanship after 20years of Efcc creation

My own na when hand go touch Emiefele… that wicked short man that destroyed many small businesses must not go unpunished lailai.

Na so una like una inmate reach? I refuse to believe you are actually worried about your inmates

There is no smoke without fire….

Why happen immediately after presidential handover??

DSS vs EFCC

Just like


POLICE vs DRUGS...... On Aba Kyari case.

Family matter

Welcome to Nigeria, the shameless capital of the world where everything goes.

the should sack the DG and appoint caleb samuel. Bichi has overstayed his welcome

Does this affirms the veracity of claims that the new sheriff is averse to fighting corruption?

even if dss owns the building as claimed should they lock out the efcc without prior warning or not allow them to make alternative arrangements?

Ok

Are you sure someone in the DSS is not helping one of the suspects about to be brought in by the EFCC operatives?
There is more to this..

Nigeria

Same EFCC that goes about climbing fences and kicking in the doors of hotels and residential homes? Why are they wailing? They should equally be on the receiving end of impunity and abuse of power.

DSS, please press their necks harder!

😂😂😂

fools. na now una suddenly realize that inmates get right. yeye dey smell

Tu eres muy muy loco

Bobloco:
"Mr Tinubu’s many controversies, from perjury, multiple identities, corruption to documented drug-trafficking, are also beginning to embolden the country’s darker instincts, with politicians, officials and security operatives, making a show of competing for who is the baddest gangster."

EFCC under Tinubu administration is dead on arrival ...

As if you cared for them before

I wonder oo
inmates wey dey suffer emotional torture on daily basis for efcc detention. Na today efcc remember they are uncared for.

Katakata everywhere and today is the first day of work for the new administration

Many people will be sacked. Village people have finally caught up with the heads of the two useless agencies. They think Tinubu is useless like Buhari

Confession time. When Buhari was there, who dared say pim? The old man is nothing but a failure. He really disappointed those of us who voted and worked for him in 2015 due to his antecedents, without expecting anything in return.

More shocking revelations coming. I may not be a fan of Jonathan but he always visited prisons, efcc , dss and other agencies to see how inmates and staff were faring. Obj was fond of that too. Baba no just send. Na to dey attend mata wey no concern am overseas cos of the estacode he'd get.

He is a small fish, the main man that destroyed everything is in Daura.
