The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that it has initiated an investigation into the allegation of N10 million extortion made against some of its operatives by Nigerian rapper Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, known as Oladips.
Additionally, the implicated officers have been suspended from their operational duties while the investigation is ongoing.
EFCC Spokesperson Dele Oyewale shared this information in a statement on Saturday, expressing the Commission's concern regarding such allegations and emphasizing its commitment to uncovering the truth.
It is important to note that Oladips accused certain EFCC operatives of extorting Ten Million Naira from him in exchange for his release after he was arrested along with other suspected internet fraudsters.
In response, the EFCC Spokesperson asserted that the portrayal presented by Oladips does not accurately reflect the agency's operations.
“We have reviewed his allegations and have initiated the appropriate investigations. It is also important to mention that if the claims are determined to be false and intended to discredit the Commission or damage its reputation, suitable penalties will be enforced,” he stated.
He urged the public to await the findings of the investigation and to maintain their trust in the Commission.
