The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has told content creators not to use its name in any kind of media without getting written permission first. Those who do will be prosecuted.
Naija News says that the EFCC sent out a statement on its 𝕏 handle on Saturday saying that it has noticed a growing trend among content creators using its name, logo, uniforms, and other official identity in skits and online productions.
The EFCC said that many unauthorized comedy skits often misrepresent its values and standards, and it made it clear that it has not given permission for any of these uses.
