The Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has warned skit-makers against using the Commission’s operational identities to make video clips.

VerseNews reports that a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commission’s Head of media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, lamented how some skit-makers and other social workers make caricatures of the operational etiquette of the EFCC.

The Commission was reacting specifically to a viral skit titled, ‘EFCC and Army Wahala’. It said that the shameful characterization of supposed operatives of the Commission in the video was embarrassing.

Oyewale said, “The shameful characterization of supposed operatives of the Commission in the video unleashing terror on “suspects” is not only embarrassing but indicative of a deliberate attempt to cast shadows on the image of the EFCC.”

He explained that contrary to what the video portrayed, operatives of the Commission are not bullies.
