A Nigerian man has publicly accused operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of misconduct. He claims the agency now requires bail payments in foreign currency, specifically dollars, rather than the local naira.
These serious allegations were shared by the man on social media. His brother is reportedly in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
Allegations: EFCC Demands Dollar Bail
The man’s accusations stem from his personal experience. His brother is currently involved with the anti-graft commission.
He voiced significant concern over this reported shift from Nigeria’s official currency. He questioned the practice of officially operating with dollars instead of naira.
Operatives Accused of Looting Personal Property
Furthermore, he alleged that EFCC operatives raided his apartment. They reportedly confiscated several personal belongings in his absence.
He specified items he claims were taken. These included perfumes, power banks, and wristwatches. Drinks and even personal hygiene products were also reportedly removed. He believes more items would have vanished if discovered during the operation.
He directly quoted, “EFCC no longer accepts bail in Naira.” He emphasized this was from his brother’s current situation, not mere hearsay. He questioned when Nigeria began official dollar transactions.
He also detailed the raid on his apartment. He stated that operatives “made away with my perfume, my power banks, watches.” He added that even a PlayStation pad was stolen. He speculated that a ring light would also have been taken if found. He challenged the EFCC’s motive for taking his personal items.
A video further detailing these allegations is provided below.
