Males suspected to be brokers of the Financial and Monetary Crimes Fee have been stated to have carried out a midnight operation on the Federal College of Expertise, Akure, Ondo State.
Pupil lodges have been reportedly raided round 2am.
Some college students have taken to social media, sharing movies and claiming that the boys broke into rooms and arrested some college students.
Movies circulating on social media present damaged window frames from what’s believed to be an tried housebreaking.
A social media person referred to as J Brandy wrote: “I assumed they stated EFCC shouldn’t raid at night time anymore. This hostel (Celeb Lodge, FUTA) is true behind mine. When will this be endemic? EFCC (officers) transfer like thieves at night time!”
In one of many movies circulating on-line, a person was seen carrying the EFFC jacket.
The Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, had in November ordered that the night time sting operations be halted.
He gave this directive following the arrest of suspected web fraudsters in Ile-Ife, Osun State, by operatives of the EFCC, which sparked nationwide outrage.
When contacted on Wednesday concerning the matter, the company's Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, requested our correspondent to name again inside 20 minutes.
On the time of this publication, he has not returned his calls.
