EFCC warns skit makers over unauthorized use of its uniforms
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a stern warning to skit makers and content creators, following the circulation of an old video titled “EFCC and Army Wahala” on social media.
The video, which has regained traction, portrays a satirical scene of alleged EFCC operatives engaging in misconduct, an act the Commission finds both misleading and damaging to its reputation.
In a statement on Monday, the EFCC expressed its disapproval of the unauthorized use of its uniforms and operational gear in the skit, describing it as a “shameful characterization” of the agency’s work.
The video depicts the operatives as engaging in unprofessional behavior, which the EFCC says is a deliberate attempt to misrepresent its officers and undermine public trust.
“Operatives of the EFCC are not bullies,” the statement read. “They are trained professionals who uphold decency, civility, and respect for all individuals, including those under investigation for economic and financial crimes.”
The Commission has reiterated its warning to skit makers to desist from using its operational gear without authorization, cautioning that such actions may result in legal repercussions. The EFCC made clear that it will not tolerate any further misuse or misrepresentation of its identity in media content.
