Be Careful Who You Join To Protest
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said a shadowy group wants to instigate a “protest” against the Commission.
The alleged group has been campaigning in the social media and recruiting impressionable young Nigerians, including students to take up “arms” against the EFCC.
The Commission, while not averse to protests by citizens, is alarmed by emerging evidence that suggest a grand design by corrupt elements under investigation or prosecution by the Commission to exploit the so-called protest to orchestrate a national uprising that may threaten the peace and security of our dear nation. Consequently, the Head, media and publicity of EFCC, Dele Oyewale, noted that the Commission will not tolerate any breakdown of law and order anywhere in the country especially around its office locations across Nigeria. Furthermore he noted that
EFCC, will in concert with sister security agencies take necessary measures to deal with possible threats to the peace and security of Nigeria.
