Is this a movie or is it real? Fellow Nairalanders, please help to check:

They even switched off the generator after the guy suffered to get fuel because there was no electricity.

According to the video description,

In this video, some EFCC operatives and a police officer are seen breaking into the private residence of a Nigerian citizen. They scaled the perimeter fence, broke the gate and switched off the generator.

When the Nigerian citizen came out to see what went wrong with the generator, the invaders held him like a common criminal, slapped him, kicked him all over, and smashed his laptop on his head. Then, they forced him to transfer the sum of One Million Naira (₦1,000,000) into a bank account.

Some soldiers came in and wanted to know what happened but the EFCC officials said the man broke his own laptop to hide his crime. They did all these without presenting any search or arrest warrant.

In a fuller version of the video, we see that this video was recorded by a lady (probably the man's wife or girlfriend) from a top floor.

Is this what many Nigerians are going through unreported? If no one recorded the scene, this would have gone by unnoticed.

Nigeria has all sorts of economic problems. The citizens are going through hell. They can't find well-paid jobs at home. But when they try to work remotely according to the culture of the time, EFCC would brand them as internet fraudsters without due processes.

Until proved otherwise, the above scenario is what is depicted in this video. The question is: How can such an economy thrive where:

1. Citizens can't find good jobs at home and are not allowed to find jobs beyond the shores?
2. Innocent citizens are blatantly punished while criminals go scot-free and even ascend to top positions in the polity?

We posit that, if this is what EFCC is doing, then, they have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we can as well #endEFCC too.

But, it's left for the true masters (ie. the masses) to decide. So, what do YOU have to say about this?

I watched this on Facebook a month ago.....I was even thinking it was just a skit but the comments under the post said otherwise. This is so wrong. Thieves on Uniforms

ObaKlaz:
Skit/move scene. Camera crew did a good job, with shots from different angles.

Can you make a skit with official EFCC uniform and branding? CCTV cameras can also get camera angles.

There's nothing CCTV about that footage, sir. One of the cameras was even following right behind them at some point (like when that ACTOR scaled the fence to break the lock, and when another ACTOR hid behind that black car. )

Also, there's nothing official about those gears they have on, just that they have EFCC inscribed on them - Na so EFCC get level?! Anyone can come up with gears like that.

So someone can use EFCC name in a movie that depicts EFCC in a bad light?

Sure. Nothing about movies is real; it's just an act. It is to be assumed that all characters are fictitious.

Is that totally impossible! Sir, I'm just doing some few forensics here. Who recorded the footage? Whoever did must have been so invisible to be in such proximity as those ACTORS that they couldn't see him.
The footage gave them away. Too stable to be real stuff. Please don't even bring up CCTV. I've seen and analysed plenty CCTV footage enough to know that this isn't one of such!

I still have reasons to doubt that this is a skit. Many times, we have opportunity to change a bad situation but we fail to as a result of negligence.

OK. I've given reasons why this nothing but a skit or movie scene. You wanna enlighten me on why it's not? With logical proofs.
