“We need to state that much as we have avowed, pursuant to our mandate to root out cyber criminals in the nation’s space, we clarify that the operatives depicted in the video are not those of the Commission, the anti graft agency said in a statement.
“We disclaim the video and in same breath, wish to inform the public that EFCC operatives stick to a standard procedure in their operations, which conforms with global best practices for intelligence officers.

“Members of the public are therefore, advised to look elsewhere for the source and actors in the video because the fingerprints of that operation do not belong to us.
