The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said that its attention has been drawn to the activities of some fraudsters who, on Thursday, 27th February 2025, organised a live session on a TikTok platform using the Commission’s logo to generate traffic and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
The Head of Media and Publicity at the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, said on Thursday that the fraudsters used six fake accounts, all bearing the logo of the Commission and the names of non-existent directorates.
Among the names and logos used for the fraudulent live session are: “EFCC of Nigeria”, “EFCC Lagos”, “EFCC Delta”, “EFCC of Benin”, “EFCC of Jos”, and “EFCC Saga”.
“The Commission has no TikTok account, and the public is advised to discountenance any such account bearing the insignia of the Commission,” Oyewale said.
