The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission agents’ midnight raid on two nightclubs in the Agbalaka neighborhood of Akure, Ondo State, was caught on camera by Avideo on Saturday.

An X user named @YemieFash posted videos of a woman’s nude buttocks that had already become red from multiple wipes, providing an update on the EFCC’s invasion.

Captioning the videos, he wrote, “Hello @officialEFCC, this is what your rogue officers did to innocent ladies at a club in Akure, last night. They also took away their phones after this dehumanisation. I am sharing this for the whole world to see how irresponsible and unprofessional your agency can be.”

The X user had earlier told Peoples Gazette about how the agents, the majority of whom were wearing masks, raided the Charles Royal Hotel and Signature Lounge, two establishments in the state capital’s Agbalaka neighborhood, to apprehend patrons they believed to be online scammers.

He said that the anti-graft agency’s agents had fired tear gas canisters, assaulted, hurt, and arbitrarily detained customers, confiscated female customers’ phones, smashed CCTV cameras, and taken cars and other property.

He said, “Last night, people were in the club and all of a sudden, we saw masked men with guns enter into the club, started beating everybody they saw, asking people to lie down.

“They got into the main hotel and customers were tear gassed. A hotel accommodating over 300 people tear gassed them, beat many of them, they went to the CCTV, damaged it and went with the box. They asked the girls in the place to submit their phones. They collected the phones and took them away. They arrested over 100 people, took them away with some of their cars” he stated.
