EFCC Warns Skit Makers Against Using Their Uniforms For Comedic Purposes
The EFCC denounced the use of their uniform in a statement released by the anti-graft organization, calling it a mockery of its working methods and a purposeful attempt to distort the Commission’s actions.
The EFCC said that the skit, which shows purported agents acting abusively and in an unprofessional manner, damages the agency’s reputation.
The statement said, “The deplorable portrayal of alleged EFCC agents frightening’suspects’ is not only embarrassing but also a blatant attempt to tarnish the Commission’s reputation.”

The EFCC reaffirmed its caution to skit producers and content providers not to use the Commission’s uniforms, badges, or any other official symbol without legal clearance in response to the film receiving renewed prominence on the internet.
The organization emphasized that these depictions compromise the EFCC’s operational integrity in addition to misleading the public.
In its closing remarks, the Commission urged skit creators to take accountability for their work and to avoid using law enforcement emblems in their videos without permission.
The EFCC has issued warnings against the improper use of its uniforms in skits before, but this newest one, according to the organization, emphasizes its dedication to upholding the operatives’ professional image and making sure that such deceptions do not undermine confidence.
