The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Says investigation has revealed a plan by shadowy group to instigate a “protest” against the Commission.

In a statement by the spokesperson of the commission Dele OYEWALE says the group has been actively campaigning in the social media, recruiting impressionable young Nigerians, including students to take up “arms” against the EFCC.

This insidious campaign is being promoted as resistance to the operational activities of the Commission especially by those under investigation and PROSECUTION by the commission.

The Commission warns that it will not tolerate any breakdown of law and order in the country as it’s working with other security agencies towards taking necessary measures to deal with possible threats to peace and security of the nation.

The Commission therefore appeals to parents, guardians and heads of tertiary institutions to take responsibility in ensuring that their wards are not recruited to be used as tools in a proxy war against the Commission by vested corrupt interests.
