A video, code-named:
“EFCC and Army Wahala” gaining traction across the social media, once
again, compels the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to reiterate its
warning to skit makers and other social workers to desist from using the
operational identities of the Commission illegally and irresponsibly.
“EFCC and Army Wahala” is a caricature of the operational
etiquette of the EFCC. The shameful
characterization of supposed operatives of the Commission in the video
unleashing terror on “suspects”, is not only embarrassing but indicative of
deliberate attempt to cast shadows on the image of the EFCC.
Operatives of the EFCC are not bullies. They are trained as refined modern law
enforcement officers rich in decency, civility and respect for members of the
public, including suspects of economic and financial crimes.
Skit makers are warned again to desist from unauthorized use
of the identities of the EFCC to ply their trade. The Commission will not hesitate to bring to
book anyone caught displaying its operational identities for any engagement.
