An EFCC official was tragically shot dead by a suspected yahoo boy during a nighttime sting operation. The incident drew criticism due to the EFCC’s prior ban on such operations. One comment stated, “EFCC is worse than the fraudsters they claim to fight,” unfairly demonizing the agency.
While there may be valid concerns about operational policies, comparing the EFCC to fraudsters diminishes their efforts to combat financial crimes and disrespects the victim. Criticisms should focus on constructive dialogue to improve practices, not on dismissive remarks that undermine the importance of law enforcement in addressing societal issues.
