YFCM Condemns EFCC's Mode of Operation in Oyo, Calls for Urgent Action by the FG

The Global President of Youth For Change Movement (YFCM) Comrade Ekundina Segun Elvis has  condemned the barbaric and unprofessional mode of action/operation of the men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ibadan (Oyo State).

In his statement, the Global President stated that in the past, men of EFCC are known to always follow their mandate of ensuring a crime free society by carrying out due diligence and intelligent findings, proper and thorough investigation after which parading and prosecution of the criminals are done. Which is the normal procedure in a sane and just environment.

We are now surprised that the men of the EFCC in recent times no longer have their intelligence reports before executing their duties rather they have resulted into unnecessary harassment of Nigerian youths by burgling and forcing entrance to their abode, accousting people in public places like bars, clubs, churches, hotels, schools etc , a dastardly act that is so uncalled for.

As if that was not enough, it can also be noted that they now engage in creating roadblocks and engaging in stop and search on innocent citizens which I personally see as the height of unprofessionalism by the men of the EFCC.

It would be recalled that on 27th of March, 2022., the men of the EFCC again engaged in this unprofessional act which led to the arrest of 80 youths in the city of Ibadan. They went ahead to parade those innocent youths as criminals without any proper investigation.

With the above incidence and various others that have happened recently, it is crystal clear that the men of EFCC are just hell bent on harassing and making this country inhabitable for the youths.

We hereby implore the Federal government led by H.E., President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) to set up an investigative panel that would look into the mode of operation of the EFCC as this would help in retracing our steps to a better community and also make this country more habitable for the youths who are the future of our dear nation.
