EFCC Bans Sting Operations at Night

The Executive Chairman of the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),   Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has directed that sting operations at night time be stopped in all commands in line with the newly-reviewed procedures on arrest and bail of suspects by  the commission.

The Head, Media and Publicity of  the commission, Mr.Dele Oyewale, said in a statement that  the EFCC chairman gave the directive in Abuja yesterday  in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters by operatives of the Ibadan Zonal of the commission in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

“Already, many of the suspects duly profiled by the command have been released, while profiling of suspects yet un-released will be completed, without further delay. The commission wishes to assure the public that it will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate,” Oyewale said.
