Delta Probes Violence Protest By Youths Against EFCC’s Arrest Of ‘Yahoo Boys’
The Delta state government has ordered an investigation into Tuesday’s violence protest by some youths in Ughelli council area against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over what they claimed was indiscriminate arrest of suspected internet fraudsters labeled as ‘yahoo boys’.
Charles Aniagwu, the state’s commissioner for information, disclosed this on Wednesday at a press conference in Asaba, the state’s capital.
Aniagwu urged the people to remain calm, adding that the government had ordered an investigation into the incident.
He assured that the government would continue to protect the rights of law-abiding individuals, but that it would not protect anyone found to have gone against the law.
“The state government will carry out a thorough investigation to ascertain whether the EFCC operated within the confines of the law and whether in doing so they realised the need to respect the fundamental rights of those arrested.
“We will also examine whether those alleged to have gone on rampage to protest also respected the rights of the EFCC to carry out its duties as enabled by law,” Aniagwu said.
