There is heavy security at the head office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
The EFCC has raised an alarm about planned protests against them by certain groups.
Operatives from the Lagos State Anti-Crime Outfit, known as the Rapid Response Squad, are strategically positioned with their vans on routes leading to the EFCC office.
Men from the Department of State Services are also part of the joint security forces, equipped with patrol vans, heavy anti-riot trucks, and Black Marias.
The protesters, under the banner #ReformEFCC, have outlined six key demands. These demands will be submitted to various EFCC offices across the country.
Their demands include respect for fundamental human rights, stopping indiscriminate arrest and invasion of people’s homes, stopping the destruction of people’s properties in the name of sting operations, stopping the profiling of young Nigerians, and stopping the assault and manhandling of Nigerians.
A Twitter user, @PidomNigeria, stated, “This #ReformEFCC’s protest today is not sponsored by anyone, it’s not political, neither does it have any political undertone in it. It is purely a people-centered organic peaceful protest, calling for a much-needed reformation of EFCC, for better performance. Anyone who is seen calling for ‘Tinubu must go’ or ‘End APC’ at the protest venues, in order to give this peaceful protest a political coloration, will be handed over to the police by protesters.”
