Ondo Youths Protest EFCC Raid on Nightclubs, Allege Brutality
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Youths in Akure, Ondo State capital, took to the streets on Sunday to protest the arrest of 127 people by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during a raid on two nightclubs early Saturday morning.

The EFCC, a Nigerian government agency tasked with tackling financial crimes, claimed those arrested were suspected internet fraudsters, often referred to as “Yahoo boys” in local parlance. However, the protesters allege the EFCC officers used excessive force, including property damage and physical assault, during the raid.

The protestors’ narrative paints a picture of heavy-handed tactics by the EFCC. They allege officers went beyond simply arresting suspects, resorting to violence and destruction. This has sparked outrage and concern over the agency’s methods.

The Ondo State government, through the Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Saka Ogunleye, has called for calm, assuring the public that the matter will be investigated.

In a statement released via their official social media handle, the EFCC has vehemently denied any claims of brutality or property damage. They maintain that the raid was conducted professionally and the arrested individuals are indeed suspected internet fraudsters.

This incident has reignited a long-standing debate on the conduct of Nigerian law enforcement agencies. Nigerians argue that such raids often target innocent people and lack proper due process. They advocate for more targeted operations based on credible intelligence and stricter adherence to human rights during arrests.

Several questions remain unanswered. Did the EFCC have concrete evidence to justify the raid on the nightclubs? Were there any bystanders caught in the crossfire? How will the government ensure a fair investigation into the allegations of brutality?
