- The security measures have been implemented at the entrance of the EFCC Lagos State Command.
- The EFCC has also strengthened security at its offices in Abuja and Ibadan over the planned protest.
- The security beef-up comes in anticipation of the protest.
Newsypeople- In response to an intended protest, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has heightened the security at its Lagos office. Black-clad security personnel are stationed at the Awolowo Road building, which is located in Ikoyi, Lagos.
It is due to the protest at the EFCC office that the security measures were enforced. The commission, nevertheless, has not disclosed any reasons or the specific moving toward certain security measures in relation to the impending protest.
Notwithstanding, the action of the armed security men on the street and the blockading of the EFCC office undoubtedly suggest that the commission is seriously apprehended about the protest and is willing to put measures in place to avoid any destruction of its operation.
The EFCC is a Nigerian government department that pursues cases of financial transgression within the country, for example, fraud, money laundering, and corruption. It was caught up in publicity in some of the most high-profile cases and faced criticism from those who thought it pursued a political or unfair course of action.
Despite earlier doubts, we still have to wait and see whether the demo will occur and what impact it might have on the EFCC. The commission has not yet announced the date, the exact nature of the argument, or its policy to assuage the protestors.
To sum up, the EFCC has tightened the security at its Lagos office in the wake of the planned protest making it very difficult for anyone to enter.
The buoyed security workforce at the entrance and the target are the first evidence that the management is sensitively handling the pegging of the protest, ensuring orderly conduct of the staff, and, at last, remaining disturbance free. On the other hand, the purpose of the protest and the EFCC’s intentions to address the protesters’ concerns are not told.
