EFCC Bans Sting Operations At Night

Post created on 4:34 pm

In line with the newly-reviewed procedures on arrest and bail of suspects by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has directed that sting operations at night time be stopped in all the Commands of the EFCC.

The directive was contained in a statement released by the agency through the Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.

Olukoyede gave the directive in Abuja on Wednesday,  November 1, 2023, in reaction to the 69 suspected Internet fraudsters arrested by the Ibadan Zonal Commission in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The statement said some of the suspects have already been released by the command and others will follow without further delay.

The agency therefore reinstates its commitment to the rule of law in exercising its mandate.
