The wife of an Abia businessman, Mr. Ugochukwu Ezeanyagu, who is 8 months pregnant, has been hospitalized after officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invaded their home located at Umuobia Olokoro Estate in the state capital, Umuahia, at 2 am on Friday, December 6.

The husband told ABN TV that the heavily armed EFCC officials, some of whom were masked, broke the gates of their home with a hammer and destroyed the doors to forcefully gain access to their room.

He said the officials, who failed to state their mission or on whose directive they acted, humiliated him and his highly traumatized pregnant wife, forcing them to lie face down in a manner that depicted them as armed robbers.

While the horrifying experience was ongoing, the officials seized his phone and other electronic gadgets, apparently to ascertain if there were suspicious transaction histories contained there.

After finding no evidence to link the businessman to internet fraud, the EFCC officials reportedly apologized for the damages caused and left the premises.

"The most painful part is that my wife is over 8 months pregnant. They threw her into crisis last night, with the whole shock and trauma," Ezeanyagu stated.

As of the time of this report, an official complaint was yet to be lodged with the police.

Efforts by ABN TV to reach the EFCC Head of Media & Publicity, Mr. Dele Oyewale, for a response proved abortive.

This incident comes three years after EFCC officials also invaded the home of Abia journalist Norah Okafor in Umuahia, disconnecting the fencing wiring system and gaining access to her room in the name of searching for incriminating evidence. It was later discovered that they had targeted the wrong home.

It's disheartening to witness a government agency tasked with combating crime and fraud exhibiting behavior that mirrors the very issues they're supposed to be addressing. This lack of civility and contradictory approach is a significant concern. Unfortunately, this incident is one of many reasons I've grown disillusioned about this ZOO.

How I wish the businessman have a wild dog at home to tear the bastards into pieces, just imagine the tension and trauma the couple and their neighbors will experience.

I know very soon, very soon, Nigerians will come for them.

In my own opinion, this kind of mistake is too expensive, hence the couple deserve monetary compensation for the trauma.
I would have suggested they Sue, but the chances of getting Justice might be slim.
So that should just thank God for Life and move on.

like a thief in the night

Wrong house

When the Efcc stupidly went to raid OAU at night, it was 100 level students who caged officers of Efcc Ibadan. That day, there was no going out and coming in. Efcc officers eventually had to go get Policemen to help them talk to the students. The students refused leaving till some students were released.

You needed to see the Efcc Chairman issuing contradictory directives on Twitter that day.

Until people start suing the Efcc and they are forced to pay heavy damages, they won't have sense.

If you remember, someone sued the former Efcc Chairman and the court granted the judgement. You needed to see the former Chairman running about.

After Nigeria police,the most useless organization is EFCC

Incompetent idiots!

Is this the proper remedy for the trauma and humiliation meted on the innocent family?

When will this nonsense stop

Because EFCC has nor been sued and made to pay huge sums as compensation for such madness, they would continue.

And of course nothing would be done, no sanction, nothing nothing. God help us.

Could you imagine how Nigerian security personnels behaves like tauts

I'm surprised if you're surprised.

9ja security apparatuses and Intelligence gathering have always been sworn enemies.

But I thought efcc have be warned of midnight opeeration and invading people at dark time? How dare you efcc bursted to somebody home without arrest warrant or court order?

One day some of you will be mistake for thief and get kill shey una no dey hear word ba?

They should repair the damages and pay damages join!

That's all!

After they will soon bring N100,000 as compensation and tell her to drop them case

I remember the news bro. I think the OAU students deserves some accolades.
