The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
confirmed that its operatives broke into the residence of former BBNaija
housemate, Dorathy Bachor.
Recall that Dorathy, on her Instagram page, lamented the sad
incident and expressed frustration at how unsafe it is to be a Nigerian.
According to the star, the anti-graft officials allegedly
broke into her house, saying they were after a suspected internet fraudster.
She said the EFCC officials identified her as a BBNaija star
and left afterwards.
Reacting, EFCC in a statement on Monday said its operatives
broke into the house because they refused to open the door.
”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.
”Ms. Bachor’s apartment happened to be one of the flats in
the building. EFCC 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 operatives were left with no choice than to force their way in, lest
suspects escape or destroy vital evidence.
”It is important to state 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.
”It is important to reiterate that nine alleged internet fraud suspects were apprehended in the block of flats housing Ms. Bachor’s apartment.”
