The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reprimanded content creators and individuals against the unapproved use of its name, logo, uniforms and other official identity in skits and online productions.

The anti-corruption agency read the riot act after observing a growing trend of creators featuring the Commission in comedy and other digital content without approval.

In a video shared on X, the EFCC said such portrayals often distort its values and standard procedures, stressing that it has not granted permission for any such use.

EFCC said, “It has come to the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that some individuals and content creators are using the name, logo, and likeness of EFCC in skits and other media content.

“Many of these skits misrepresent our values and standard operating procedures. We wish to inform the general public that the EFCC has not authorized any such use. The EFCC does not endorse, sponsor, or approve any comedy, drama, or online content that uses our identity without written consent.

“Therefore, the public is hereby advised to cease and desist from using our name, logo, uniforms, or any identifying elements in skits or promotional content without prior written approval. Be warned, all who violate these instructions shall be prosecuted”.

The anti-corruption agency insisted that its identity must not be used in any form of media content without official written clearance, affirming that violators would face legal action.
