The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the occupation of its Lagos by DSS operatives, describing the action as shocking.

Wilson Uwujaren,  Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC made the confirmation in a statement in Lagos on Monday.

He said the DSS not only occupy its office at No 15, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos but also prevented its operatives from gaining entrance into their offices.

The full text of the statement; “The operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arrived at their office on No. 15 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, this morning, May 30, 2023, to be denied entry by agents of the Department of State Services, DSS, who had barricaded the entrance with armoured personnel carriers.

“This development is strange to the Commission given that we have cohabited with the DSS in that facility for 20 years without incident.

“By denying operatives access to their offices, the Commission’s operations at its largest hub with over 500 personnel, hundreds of exhibits, and many suspects in detention have been disrupted.

“Cases scheduled for court hearing today have been aborted, while many suspects who had been invited for questioning are left unattended.

“Even more alarming is that suspects in detention are left without care with grave implications for their rights as inmates.

“All of these have wilder implications for the nation’s fight against economic and financial crimes.

“The siege is inconsistent with the synergy expected of agencies working for the same government and nation, especially when there are ongoing discussions on the matter,” Uwujaren said.
