Omar @Tuscee commented on ‘X’ “Only in Nigeria would a “wristwatch car and phone” become signs of fraud.
Only in Nigeria, would a bachelors eve be termed a yahoo party.
Only in Nigeria would you see 127 alleged fraudsters gather together at the same location with only 10 cars…
Clowns!!!”
Another Nigerian, Lekzy Red, @Lexzy_r also on ‘X’ accused the antigraft agency of several unprofessional conducts: “You destroyed the club’s cctv cameras, harassed and beat up ladies, seized their phones, unleashed tear gas on citizens of the country you are meant to serve.. this is what you have become? Clubbing is now termed “yahoo party”?! A disgrace of an agency!!!” he posted.
The Ilaje Sultan, @ogunmusi while posting semi-nude videos of allegedly dehumanized ladies, wondered what is meant by “Yahoo Party” in his post: “Dele Oyedele, The Spokesman of the @officialEFCC said The operation in Akure was carried out to round up some internet fraudsters holding a Yahoo party.
What in the world is a Yahoo party ?
Plus why were the premises destroyed, why were ladies flogged and dehumanized ?”
A soft sell media, Gossip Media, @gossipmailng, on ‘X’ posted a short clip with the caption “Breaking: How EFCC Operatives Allegedly Assaulted Ladies After Raid At Akure Nightclub”. See video below, of an allegedly flogged and dehumanized lady showing her bruised buttocks.
