The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede, has ordered the immediate arrest of two EFCC officers allegedly involved in the forceful entry into hotel rooms at Regional Hotel, Ojo, Lagos State.
A trending online video shows the officers, dressed in plainclothes, breaking into a hotel room. A female hotel staff attempted to open the door from inside, but the officers forced their way in, with one of them slapping her before ordering her out of the room. The incident was captured on CCTV.
The EFCC has condemned the incident, stating that it was an unauthorized sting operation. The Commission promised to investigate and discipline the officers involved.
In his statement, Oyewale said the incident happened during an early morning sting operation.
