An activist has taken to social media to call out a squad of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for brutalizing club patrons in Akure in the early hours of Saturday, June 8, 2024.
Oluyemi Fasipe accused the men who conducted the raid of brutalizing people for no just cause.
He accused them of beating the ladies with sticks and leaving them with weal and bruises on their bums mainly and other parts of their body.
Using his handle, @YemieFash, he wrote on X:
“The @officialEFCC conducted a raid on two clubs in Akure overnight. They carried out physical assaults on almost everyone in the club, used tear gas, made random arrests, confiscated the phones of all the females present, damaged the CCTV cameras, and took away the engine. Some people were being rushed to the hospital.
This is totally unacceptable!!!
The rogues in red jackets entered the club at around 2am. They discharged tear gas and proceeded to physically attack everyone, including the club staff, using sticks. They collected the phones of all ladies and took them away. They destroyed and scattered items in the club. Additionally, they carried out a random mass arrest.
How do you justify this brutal assault?”
Then, attaching clips of the bums of the ladies attacked showing their injuries, he wrote in another tweet:
“Hello @officialEFCC,
This is what your rogue officers did to innocent ladies at a club in Akure last night.
They also took away their phones after this dehumanization. I am sharing this for the whole world to see how irresponsible and unprofessional your agency can be.”
EFCC is yet to respond.
