The death of an officer from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has sparked an investigation following the circulation of a video showing his lifeless body. The incident occurred on Sunday in an undisclosed part of Lagos State. In the video, the officer, who was not in uniform, is surrounded by sympathizers, including police officers who searched his belongings. It was later confirmed through his identity card that he was an EFCC officer.
Dele Oyewale, the EFCC spokesperson, confirmed the officer’s death, stating that the incident is being investigated. The EFCC has emphasized the need for justice, condemning any negative narratives surrounding the officer’s death. This case comes after another recent incident where an EFCC officer, Aminu Salisu, was shot during a raid on suspected cyber criminals in Onitsha, Anambra State. The EFCC has made it clear that they will ensure proper investigations are conducted, and justice is served in both cases.
