The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has strongly condemned the actions of a former employee who posed as an active officer on a popular matchmaking program.
Olakunle Alex Folarin, recently fired from the agency, appeared on Lege Miami’s social media platform, misleading viewers about his status.
Folarin, who served as a driver at the EFCC’s Ibadan Zonal Directorate, lost his job due to certificate forgery.
Despite his dismissal, he retained several agency properties, including an official identity card, which he should have returned immediately.
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede swiftly ordered Folarin’s arrest to recover the items and address the breach. The commission emphasized that Folarin’s conduct after his firing does not reflect the agency’s values or operations.
In a public advisory, the EFCC urged Nigerians to avoid linking Folarin’s personal antics with the organization. “The public is advised against associating Folarin’s post-dismissal conduct with the EFCC,” the statement read.
