Nigerians Blast EFCC Over Reasons For Breaking Into BBNaija Dorathy’s House

Nigerians have continued to criticize the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFFC, for breaking into the apartment of an ex-BBNaija housemate, Dorathy Bachor, despite the anti-graft agency’s defense.

Some Nigerians who took to the EFCC’s social media account stated the agency should have said whether any of the nine alleged online fraudsters were caught in Doraty’s residence in its announcement.

Dorathy had raised an alarm about how the EFCC officers broke into her apartment in the early hours of Monday.

The EFCC operatives who recognized Dorathy as a BBNaija star broke into her home, claiming they were looking for some suspects who ran into her estate, Dorathy stated on her Instagram page.

The EFCC stated in a statement that its operatives broke into the former BBNaija housemate’s residence when Dorathy’s sister refused to unlock the door after the incident became viral on social media.

However, the EFCC, which claimed that nine suspected online fraudsters were apprehended in the building where Dorathy’s flat is located, failed to say whether any of the suspects were apprehended inside the BBNaija star’s unit.

While characterizing the EFCC’s action as unprofessional, other Nigerians on the anti-graft agency’s Facebook page suggested that accurate intelligence should have been used in the raid rather than breaking into people’s homes under the guise of raids.

They also asked the agency to present a complete picture of the situation in its defense.

According to Akingbade Adeyemo David, “This statement has not addressed the allegation. Were the nine arrested internet fraudsters arrested in her flat? Why was her flat broken into when she’s not the target for arrest? EFCC should rather apologize to her for the operational error.”

Chioma Peters said, “You were acting on verified intelligence to search “blocks of flats” which you suspected internet fraudsters are staying. When you got to her own flat why didn’t you leave?
If citizens are given the right/warrant to search their houses too, are you sure you all are free from fraud?

On his part, Afeez Ayoola said “Why can’t you do your investigation well be going for an arrest? Is that how you people were taught about intelligence?

Also, Emmanuel Ogheneochuko said “Economic and Financial Crimes Commission try to be more professional in your operations. Between Efcc and Dorathy somebody isn’t telling the truth. Like I advised her in her Instagram post, let her get a lawyer and see to it that justice is served if what she said is actually what transpired.”
