*Police Disperse Anti-EFCC Group In Abuja
THE Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has denied allegation of shooting at pro- Yahaya Bello protesters at its headquarters on Monday, April 29, in Abuja.
Spokesman for the Commission, Dele Oyewale, while rescting to a video trending on social media on the allegation, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that there was no shooting at any protester at the Commission on Monday, April 29.
He said the operatives only dispersed the protesters who went to there to disrupt activities, adding: “No arrests were made, as claimed by the group.
“Two groups demonstrated at the Commission today. The first group came with a letter of commendation in support of the EFCC anti- corruption fight.
“They presented their letter, which was received by the Director of Public Enlightenment Department, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, who promised to deliver their message to the chairman.
“Not quite long, another group came, these people were violent and destructive, the men of the commission had to chase them away.
“It is not true, nobody was arrested and there was no shoot out.”
Recall that Police operatives on Monday dispersed scores of protesters against what the termed EFCC persecution of Bello, who is facing a 19-count charge.
