Youths Protest Against EFCC In Ibadan
Some youths have accused personnel of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of extortion.
The youths organised a protest against the EFCC on Thursday in Ibadan, Oyo State. The protest comes barely two days after some youths held a similar protest in Warri, Delta State.
The youths, who took the protest to the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, expressed displeasure with the conduct of the anti-graft agency, as they alleged assault on innocent youths.
The protesters were seen holding placards and banners, which read, “Enough of the extortion from EFCC,” and “End EFCC,” among others.
The youths, who also caused traffic around the Bodija area of Ibadan, accused the EFCC of carrying out illicit house searches and arrests in their operations. They requested for the review and reform of the agency’s activities.
