EFCC WARNS SKIT MAKERS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED USE OF ITS UNIFORMS
Read Time:1 Minute, 24 Second
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has expressed serious displeasure with skit producers’ unauthorised use of its operational clothes and accessories, following the emergence of an old film dubbed “EFCC and Army Wahala” on social media.
In a statement, the EFCC criticised the movie as a caricature of its operational methods and an intentional attempt to misrepresent the Commission’s actions. The spoof depicts supposed EFCC officers indulging in aggressive and unprofessional behaviour, which the agency claims damages its brand.
“The shameful depiction of supposed EFCC operatives terrorizing ‘suspects’ is not only embarrassing but also a clear effort to tarnish the image of the Commission,” the statement read.

The EFCC emphasised that its agents are not bullies but rather well-trained law enforcement professionals who interact with the public in a civil, respectful, and professional manner, including persons suspected of economic and financial crimes.
In reaction to the video’s fresh online prominence, the EFCC restated its caution to skit and content creators not to use the Commission’s uniforms, badges, or any other official symbol without legal authorisation. The agency emphasised that such images not only mislead the public but also undermine the EFCC’s operational integrity.
The Commission concluded by advising skit creators to take responsibility for their content and avoid using law enforcement emblems in their videos without permission.
This is not the first time the EFCC has warned against the use of its uniforms in skits, but the agency claims the latest warning demonstrates its commitment to maintaining its agents’ professional image and ensuring that such misrepresentations do not undermine public faith.
