Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has ordered the arrest of two officers of the agency for manhandling a female worker at the Regional Hotel in Ojo, Lagos.

In a statement on Thursday, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC spokesperson, said Olukoyede also ordered a detailed investigation of the operations carried out at the hotel.

A viral video shows some EFCC operatives invading the Regional Hotel on June 27 at about 4am while guests were asleep.

The officers were also seen in the video assaulting a female worker at the hotel while they reportedly fired shots and arrested some people.

“The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered the arrest of two officers of the commission allegedly involved in the manhandling of a female staff member of the Regional Hotel, Ojo, Lagos,” the statement reads.

“The officers were sighted in a viral video assaulting the staff of the hotel in an early morning sting operation in Lagos. The operation yielded a sizable number of suspects who are still being profiled.

“The EFCC’s boss has also ordered detailed investigations of the operation carried out at the hotel and assured that appropriate disciplinary measures would be taken against any of the officers found to be culpable.”

Oyewale added that the EFCC chairman assured Nigerians that the agency would continue to carry out its duties “professionally and with profound respect for the rule of law”.
