EFCC Chairman Orders Arrest Of Officials Who Beat Up Hotel Worker In Lagos

Mr. Ola Olukoyede, the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has ordered the arrest of two officers of the Commission allegedly involved in the manhandling of a female staff of Regional Hotel, Ojo, Lagos.

In a now-viral video, the EFCC officials in mufti were seen badging into one of the hotel rooms.

An unidentified lady reported to be a worker at the hotel was seen trying to open the door from inside when the men forced it open.

One of them was seen repeatedly slapping the lady before he ordered her out of the room.

The outrageous incident was captured on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).

Oyewale, in his statement, said the incident happened during an early morning sting operation.

He said the operation led to the nab of a sizable number of suspects who were still being profiled.

The statement reads, “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.”

“Olukoyede assures the general public that the EFCC would continue to ply its job professionally and with profound respect for the rule of law.”
