The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied a claim that its staff has joined the EndSARS protests.
A report on social media had said that a certain Dominic Akpan resigned from the anti-graft agency to join the protest.
Reacting to the report, EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwajaren, said that Akpan was not a staff of the agency.
“He merely served as a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member in the Port Harcourt zonal office of the Commission from November 2019 to October 16, 2020, when he completed his national service. He could not have resigned from the EFCC to join the #End SARS Movement.
“The stunt by Akpan is nothing but crass opportunism. And, seeking to achieve his selfish objectives riding on the crest of the popular protests by the youth, clamouring for institutional reform in Nigeria, is a disservice to the EndSARS Movement”, he noted
