ABUJA – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed it has CCTV footage of the recent raid on a “Yahoo Boys” party in Akure, Ondo State.
He clarified that the raid was intelligence-driven and targeted at suspected fraudsters, contrary to reports of indiscriminate arrest and harassment. “Most of the videos circulating online are fake videos, they are not authentic. We will do a forensic analysis of the video to establish the fact that the videos did not originate from that particular scene of the crime.
“The EFCC is in custody of the footage of what happened on Saturday night, because the footage, together with the CCTV, we removed it.”The development came as the EFCC faces criticism over its handling of the raid, with some accusing the agency of heavy-handedness and selectivity in its anti-corruption efforts.
