The raid has elicited a flurry of reactions from students and social media users, who have shared videos and accounts alleging forced entry into rooms and the arrest of some students.

After the raid there were damaged window frames, purportedly resulting from the operatives’ attempts to gain access to the lodges.

A social media user, identified as J Brandy, voiced his frustration, questioning the EFCC’s operational methods and pointing out the proximity of the raided lodge, Celebrity Lodge, to their own residence.

J Brandy wrote, “I thought they said EFCC should not raid at nights again. This hostel (Celebrity Lodge, FUTA ) is right behind mine. When will this endemic? EFCC (officials) moving like thieves at night!”

One of the videos circulating on social media platforms captured a man donning an EFCC jacket, further fueling speculations that the anti-graft agency’s operatives conducted the raid.

This incident has reignited debates over the appropriateness and legality of EFCC’s operational tactics, especially concerning night-time operations.
