The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that it does not operate a Tik-Tok account.
This announcement followed the activities of some fraudsters who on Thursday, 27 February 2025, organised a live session on a Tik-Tok platform using the EFCC’s Logo.
The Commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale said that the gimmick was to generate traffic and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Oyewale said: “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.”
