The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered the arrest of two EFCC officers accused of allegedly manhandling a female staff member at Regional Hotel in Ojo, Lagos.
The incident, captured in a viral video, showed EFCC officials dressed in plain clothes forcefully entering one of the hotel rooms.
The EFCC’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the incident in a statement, explaining that it occurred during an early morning sting operation.
The operation led to the arrest of a sizable number of suspects who are currently being profiled.
“The EFCC’s boss has also ordered detailed investigations of the operation carried out at the hotel and assured that appropriate disciplinary measures would be taken against any of the officers found to be culpable,” the statement reads.
Olukoyede emphasized the importance of maintaining professional conduct and adhering to the rule of law in the EFCC’s operations.
“Olukoyede assures the general public that the EFCC would continue to ply its job professionally and with profound respect for the rule of law,” Uwujaren added.
