“Dorathy wasn’t present during the raid”- EFCC

Recall when BBNaija Dorathy came on social media to brant on how EFCC broke into her house early Monday morning, the financial crimes commission released a statement that its operatives from the Lagos Command of the Commission, acting on verified intelligence visited the premise where Dorothy’s apartment is located.

“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been drawn to a post on Instagram by one Dorothy Bachor, alleging that operatives of the Commission broke into her home in the early hours of today, 23rd August 2021,” part of the statement read.

“The Commission can confirm that 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.” According to the commission, they were not allowed entry into Dorothy’s apartment even after introducing themselves.

“Ms. Bachor’s apartment happened to be one of the flats in the building. EFCC operatives said they knocked on her entrance door, identified themselves as being from the Commission on a mission to execute a Search Warrant,” it added.

“But they were refused entry, for several minutes by Bachor’s sister. The operatives were left with no choice than to force their way in, lest suspects escape or destroy vital evidence.”

“And, in opposition 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  details appear to have been formed  to fit the pattern she and other stars who really want to push about the EFCC.”

“It is important to know that nine alleged internet fraud suspects were caught in the block of flats housing Ms Bachor’s apartment,” it concluded.
