The EFCC is notorious for breaking into suspects’ homes in the dead of the night to carry out arrests, a modus operandi for which the commission has severally been criticised by many Nigerians.
In its latest operation, men of the anti-graft body stormed an off-campus hostel of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, rounding up about 70 students suspected to be internet fraudsters in the early hours of Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
Sources said officials broke into the hostel, located in the Oduduwa Estate area of Ile-Ife, with hammers.
