The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned content creators and individuals against using its name, logo, uniforms, or identity in skits and online content without permission.
The agency issued the warning after noticing an increase in creators featuring EFCC in comedy skits and digital productions without approval.
In a video shared on X, the Commission said such portrayals often misrepresent its values and standard procedures, stressing that it has not authorised any such use.
According to the EFCC:
“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 Commission emphasised that its identity must not be used in any form of media content without official written approval, warning that anyone who violates this directive will face legal action.
