The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has disowned ownership of a TikTok account on which a live session was organised using its logo.
The anti-graft commission through its spokesman, Dele Oyewale, on Thursday, said the account was used by unscrupulous individuals “to generate traffic and defraud unsuspecting members of the public”.
The fraudsters used six fake accounts all bearing the logo of the Commission and names of non-existent directorates.
Among the names and logos used for the fraudulent live session are: “EFCC of Nigeria”, “EFCC Lagos”, “EFCC Delta”, “EFCC of Benin”,” EFCC of Jos,” and “EFCC Saga.”
“The Commission has no Tik-Tok account and the public is advised to discountenance any such account bearing the insignia of the Commission”, Oyewale said.
