Nigerians Slam EFCC For Unprofessional Conduct, Invasion Of Privacy

Nigerians have taken to social media to slam the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over reports of illegally raiding homes and hotels, violating the privacy of individuals.

News has been rife with reports of EFCC officials carrying out midnight raids on unsuspecting Nigerians, damaging properties in the process without compensation.

On Friday, Nigerians took to Twitter to question the rationale behind the illegal raids, with some users pointing out that an agenda is at play, as such raids only occur in Southern Nigerian

Below are some of the reactions,

@Ambrosia_Ijebu: EFCC became the new SARS under a Millennial. Leaders of tomorrow in the mud.

@funshographix: The way DSS and EFCC are breaking into people’s home is not different from Banditry.

@ayemojubar: When EFCC is satisfied with Southern hotels, next plan most likely will be our higher institutions and hospitals.

@M_Eze1: Efcc now parading at the university of Abuja in search of yahoo boys it’s happening live. Students are now forced to open their phones at the front of gate for security men to check before going into the school. Efcc has been reduced.

@Dontee___: I have said it before and I am still saying it again. EFCC is currently running an anti South agenda. Not a single hotel or residence has been raided in the North.. What’s this madness about? What legacy is the EFCC Chairman building??

@NorahOkafor: @officialEFCC at exactly 2am you destroyed my fence, raided my home in search of internet fraudsters. Now you got nothing on me or my neighbours. Is this the Nigeria we voted for?

@olamide_BM: The disbanded sars officials were asked to join EFCC

@Chrisblin: Police are out extorting youths again, EFCC are breaking into people’s homes in the dearth of the night like hired assassins People are complaining but as usual the government is deaf, Arab spring might be a child’s play when the part 2 of endsars starts.

@d_LegalEagle: It’s so saddening that EFCC is now as professional and disdainful as Sars. While I understand the nobility in trying to cleanse our society of internet fraudsters @officialEFCC gotta act on proper intelligence not this crude style of intelligence they employ.

@yusufahmedng: EFCC is the new SARS it seems because breaking into people’s homes without proper investigation does not make sense. Sad part is their Boss is saying nothing about the whole thing. Someone that would have lost his job in a functioning country. It’s just sad!

@KBUdeogu: When end EFCC starts now they’d say that it’s yahoo boys and people trying to disgrace the government that are sponsoring the movement. But every other day, Nigerians wake up to cases of harassment by these agents of satan and no one in authority is doing anything to stop this.

@Ceo_SirLin: EFCC are Bandits in Disguise. Breaking into people’s properties is Banditry. Tag international media, international criminal courts Pass it on @CNN@AlJazeera_World@BBC@segalink@Samklef@UN #EndEFCC Tag as many as you can.
