EFCC ordered the arrest of dismissed staff Olakunle Folarin after he appeared on Lege Miami’s matchmaking show while unlawfully retaining Commission property.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has ordered the arrest of a dismissed staff member, Olakunle Alex Folarin, after he was featured on a matchmaking programme hosted on social media by entertainer Lege Miami.
Folarin appeared on Lege Miami’s TikTok live dating show, where viewers identified him as an EFCC officer, sparking online debate and prompting clarification from the agency.
In a statement on Monday via its official X handle, the EFCC said Folarin was no longer in its service, having been dismissed for certificate forgery while serving as a driver at its Ibadan Zonal Directorate.
“The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered his arrest for being in possession of some Commission’s properties, including an identity card, which he should have handed over upon being dismissed,” the statement read.
The agency further urged the public not to associate Folarin’s personal conduct after dismissal with the EFCC.
