They were not sure of the office they were going to carry out their operation. Their aim of the operation was not disclosed and without proper identification nor warrant of arrest on any staff of the company,\u201d the statement reads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe operatives assaulted members of staff and exhibited gross act of high-handedness and forcefully bundled 12 of our members who attempted to ask what the matter was. \u201cThey took them away to their custody.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">AEDC alleged the operatives of EFCC broke into its offices, tear-gassed and battered so many of its members and broke office doors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cA particular staff, a lawyer, was beaten up until he became unconscious for asking them for identification. Suddenly, EFCC discovered they were in the wrong place, wrong location and wrong address,\u201d the associations added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe rightful address of operation supposed to be Federal Ministry of Power where the nomenclature of DFA exists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Among those detained by EFCC operatives, it said were nursing mothers and others with severe health challenges \u2014 including the company\u2019s director, legal services \u2014 who intervened to enquire about the situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe Director of legal was equally arrested. To our knowledge, there has never been any verbal or written invitation prior to this reckless operation on any matter,\u201d it said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe Unions reliably gathered that EFCC tortured our members before they were detained for 3 days. Also, they were individually lured to the restroom and beaten, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed like common criminals by EFCC operatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAmong those that tortured our members are Jamila Ahmed and Mr Femi. A metallic stapler was also used to strike their heads and slapped randomly by these operatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOur staff were profiled, paraded, tagged, and their photograph taken like common criminals before being detained in their cell.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Furthermore, the two in-house unions acknowledged the positive contributions of EFCC\u2019s fight against economic and financial crime in the country, saying it was undermining the commission\u2019s effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHowever, this singular act is not only thuggery but highly unprofessional. As at the time of this press release, they have not shown any sign of remorse nor tendered an apology for their unprofessional conduct, rather, AEDC management was coerced to issue a press statement of settlement as a condition for the release of the wrongly detained staff,\u201d it said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Further inquiring about the incident, the unions demanded to know if there were no rules of engagement in the EFCC operational act and code of conduct and if the operatives of EFCC were above the law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electricity workers&#8217; union in Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) have demanded an unreserved apology from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the alleged assault on its staff.
