The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said nine internet fraud suspects were arrested at the House of Dorothy Bachor.
The commission while reacting to a post on Instagram by Dorothy Bachor, alleging that operatives of the commission broke into her home in the early hours of Monday , 23rd August, 202, confirmed that its operatives from the Lagos command of the commission, acting on verified intelligence, executed a Search Warrant at a block of flats located in the Lekki area of Lagos on Monday, 23rd August, 2021, during which nine internet fraud suspects were arrested.
The commission said Ms. Bachor’s apartment happened to be one of the flats in the building.
It further stated that its operatives had knocked on her entrance door, identified themselves as being from the commission on a mission to execute a Search Warrant but they were refused entry, for several minutes by Bachor’s sister.
The commission said the operatives were left with no choice than to force their way in, lest suspects escape or destroy vital evidence.
EFCC added that law abiding citizens have no reason to refuse the execution of a validly obtained Search Warrant. And, contrary to the information making the rounds in the social media, Ms. Bachor was not present during the operation and the anti-EFCC stories about her coming out half-naked among other fantastical details appear to have been invented to fit the pattern she and other internet-fueled stars so desperately want to push about the EFCC.
The anti-graft agency reiterated that nine alleged internet fraud suspects were apprehended in the block of flats housing Ms. Bachor’s apartment.
