The Publisher of Starnews Ng, Mr. Akinrinlola Olumide, has berated the assault on a female staff of Regional Hotel in Ojo, Lagos State, by the Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Akinrinlola also frowned at the incessant unprofessional conduct of the operatives of the anti-graft agency, stressing that it was the same way men of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) began before it was scrapped.
The publisher voiced his displeasure in a statement entitled: “It is time to end EFCC’s brutality in Nigeria for serial unprofessional conducts”.
“Today, I watched the video of how they invaded the Regional Hotel in Ojo, Lagos State with indiscriminate – Sporadic gunshots and the manhandling of a female staff.
“The video revealed how the EFCC officers broke into the room and assaulted a staff of the hotel in an unprofessional operation.
“This was how the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) started their unprofessional conduct and ended the lives of many innocent Nigerians untimely while hunting for yahoo boys (internet fraudsters).
“I lost a friend in Ibadan who was going to work in 2019 due to the unprofessional conduct and sporadic shooting by SARS operatives who were chasing internet fraudsters.
“The EFCC officials have started the same evil now without the government calling them to order.
“Two weeks ago, they carried out a similar invasion in Akure, the Ondo State capital, where they apparently pounced on people and beat them to stupor with many people sustaining varying degrees of injuries, including a groom and his bride.
“This shenanigan, evil, and unprofessional conduct should stop now before the brutality of the notorious officers begins to claim lives.
“#End EFCC’s brutality now
