It has come to the knowledge of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC that some unscrupulous
individuals parading themselves as operatives of the Commission have been
harassing some prominent persons in the country on the pretext of purportedly
executing Search Warrants on behalf of the Commission. Among their victims are politically
exposed persons including ranking law makers.
This development is frightening
as it represents a new dimension to the nefarious business of impersonation of
EFCC officers by fraudsters and other criminal gangs.
The Commission dissociates itself
from the activities of these criminals and advises the public to be circumspect
when confronted with request from suspicious persons to search their homes or
properties. Accordingly, the public are implored to verify the authenticity of
any demand for the execution of Search Warrants by referring to the nearest
office of the EFCC. They can also contact the head office through these
numbers: 08093322644 or 08183322644.
The Commission can similarly be reached by email: info@efccnigeria.org
The Commission has put all its
offices on the alert with a view to nipping the activities of these criminals
in the bud.
