Protest: ‘We Strongly Detest Your Fraudulent Interest’, EFCC Reacts To ‘Yahoo Boys’
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reacted to protests by some youths who accused the anti-graft organisation of extortion and unlawful house searches.
On Thursday, the anti-graft organisation reiterated its commitment to track down, apprehend, and investigate anyone causing economic unrest in a post shared via its verified Twitter account.
The PUNCH reported that some youths gathered in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, to demonstrate and demand the dissolution of the EFCC.
The demonstrators were seen carrying signs that said, among other things, “Enough of the extortion from EFCC” and “End EFCC.”
The youths, who also caused traffic in and around Ibadan’s Bodija neighbourhood, claimed that the EFCC had conducted unlawful house searches and arrests during their operations. They sought the review and reform of the agency’s activities.
Reacting, the EFCC said, “The EFCC’s mandate is to rid Nigeria of all forms of economic and financial crimes and will not be deterred by a mere campaign of calumny.”
“Yahoo boys came out to protest because the Eagle strongly detests their fraudulent interest, but the EFCC will continue to do her best to locate, investigate, and arrest anyone causing economic unrest.”
