The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to activities of some fraudsters who on Thursday, 27 February, 2025, organised a live session on a Tik-Tok platform using the Commission’s logo to generate traffic and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
According to the Head, Media & Publicity of EFCC, Dele Oyewale the fraudsters used six fake accounts all bearing the logo of the Commission and 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 Tik-Tok account and the public is advised to discountenance any such account bearing the insignia of the Commission.
