ABEOKUTA — The Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Inspector General of Police to apologise for last Sunday’s raid on its premises.

The library also demanded N3.5bn in restitution for damages, reputational harm, and the alleged brutalisation of over 100 patrons.

Managing Director, Vitalis Ortese, described the raid as “unlawful” and “a direct assault” on the institution and its chief promoter, former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

EFCC operatives had stormed the premises, arresting 93 suspected internet fraudsters and seizing 18 vehicles.

Ortese accused the agencies of acting with “malice” and vowed to seek legal redress if demands were unmet.

“The acts are aggravated, unconstitutional, oppressive, capricious and arbitrary,” he said.

OOPL also called for a public investigation and restitution for seized property and injuries.
