Dorathy Bachor Trounces EFCC As Nigerians Slam Invasion of BBNaija Star’s Home
The majority of Nigerians have backed BBNaija reality star, Dorathy Bachor in her confrontation with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC following the break-in into her Lekki, Lagos home by operatives of the anti-graft commission.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that EFCC operatives had early on Monday, August 23 forced their way into her residence. She claimed that she was near naked when the operatives forced their way into her home. According to her the operatives after recognizing her apologized as they claimed they were looking for internet fraudsters.
The EFCC subsequently on Monday issued a statement in which it defended the invasion on the claim that a sister of Dorathy Bachor refused to open the door when the operatives knocked sometime around 4.00 a.m.
Responding to the development, Nigerians flooded the social media pages of the EFCC to trounce the commission on its action and defence of the invasion of the house of Dorathy Bachor.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG gathered some of the reactions:

Haba efcc, did you see the suspect (s) there? If not, did your operatives repair the door they allegedly broke? With the security challenges in the country today who will open his or her doors at the time she is alleging your operatives came calling. Its better for a criminal to escape than to abuse the rights of innocent citizens. I love what you are doing but this is unacceptable.
Solomon O. Emmanuel
Only politicians are eligible to enjoy human rights in this country.
Michael Akanji
If u take the same time you use in writing this rejoinder to train your operatives on basic human rights on privacy and dignity of the human person , all these would not have been necessary
Bem Barnabas Kerter
With all the credible information you guys still miss the exact flats the so claim Yahoo boys were occupying and break to someone else door , disturb her sleep and come out to defend your rubbish act instead of apologizing to her and the sister
Usman Idris Gwaram
EFCC Operates within the purview of the Law, their Modus of Operandi are been done in a professional way, because they have acted based on intelligence and in accordance with the law. Wherever EFCC suspect to be a hide out of Internet Fraud Stars, they

The way search warrants are issued in Nigeria can’t be right. You have to provide strong evidence to get a search warrant. If you didn’t find any thing incriminating, she could sue the efcc for destruction of property and other discomforts at odd hours
Erik Sen
But, when did internet fraud related crimes got so grave that EFCC now invades houses at the dead hours of night and in commando style in search of suspects? Is it a capital offence.
Izu Azubike
Oga EFCC why not stay in that premises till morning and make sure no body leaves the compound or estate and then conduct ur search when everyone must have been awake and the day break.
Iyke Chyke
In as much as I do not support nor condone Internet frauds, I will however chip in that our law enforcement agencies should learn how to court public friendship and understanding. That will ease their job.
Dina Temitayo Xantaplus
EFCC have no explanation. This has been their modus operandi lately. Breaking into people’s homes forcefully and putting fear in the minds of innocent citizens. I have watched EFCC break into homes before. Very unprofessional set of government officials
Yemisi Kunlipe
How do you knock a lady’s door at about 4.30am and expect her to open the door? What if you’re thieves, is that how she’ll open the door? If she doesn’t open the door, how can she see your search warrant? This statement is crap
Mstr Akanbi Jerry
The efcc is permitted to come as far as the front door without invitation, like anybody else, but once it is made clear that they are not welcome then they must retreat to the outer boundaries of your property…
Dee MaNi
The new modus operandi the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is using to raid and burst suspected yahoo boys is base on randomness. First they burst and raid to gather evidence. Unfortunately this last one was fruitless, it backfired! Zero intel…
Isibor Addeh
The statement by the EFCC is unhelpful and should not have been released.
Was a search warrant obtained for ALL the flats in the house
Ezediuto Stanking
In Nigeria, we arrest before investigation while the white investigate before going for arrest. Can’t we learn from the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation for once? They investigated before indicting or calling for the arrest of Abba Kyari
Will
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has no intelligence.
You don’t start breaking into multiple homes and call it intelligence, that’s stupid. Do a stake out to monitor. Learn from FBI or other foreign bodies
Noble King
Well all said and done, you guys need to compensate her heavily for her broken door, and I’m sure if it was a Corrupt politicians house you came across, you people would have turned a blind eye, rather you choose to exercise power on innocent citizens.
Ogbeni Chelsea Olusoji Omotuyi
You’re all nuisance and you lack professionalism in all your doing. I just hope the country get it right one day. How on earth will you go and arrest a suspect at that early hours of the day. Very shameful ???
Kelechi Ezediegwu
Lies! This has been happening and must be stopped. EFCC cannot continue to invade people’s privacy in the dead of the night with the same lame excuses. Legal action should be taken against them to stop this madness.
There were, however, a few who backed the EFCC against the majority who backed the BBNaija star, Dorathy Bachor.
Ayuba Ladan D. Amb
Good job, but always be careful from making the suspects gather more sympathizers as an Alibi to escape the judgement like what Dorothy is trying to do to either cover herself or extending favour to the criminal suspects.
Thank you Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
Ubong Jude
Most of you are deficient of the laws and module operandi governing Security or Graft operatives on operations yet you’ll be engaging on sensitive discourses like this with so much false self-confidence.
