EFCC Alerts Nigerians to Fake Sting Operations by Impersonators

The EFCC has warned of a rising wave of criminals posing as its officers in major cities. These fraudsters ambush youths near popular eateries, accuse them of internet fraud, and seize their valuables. They also harass motorists over their number plates using weapons to extort money. Some online impersonators even stage fake raids with broken doors and windows to smear the Commission’s reputation. The agency urges the public to verify any EFCC action and use official channels to report misconduct. Genuine EFCC officers follow strict procedures and carry proper identification when investigating economic crimes.
