Specimen A

The first thing my lawyer told me was that, don’t help them. Let them do their work and only confirm what they already know. I had a lawyer on retainer so he was at EFCC office even before I got there, this caused a big problem because they claim i shouldn’t have a lawyer on the go when I’m not a criminal. EFCC combed my bank account for 5 days, going through every single transactions from 2017 till 2024, saw a transaction of up to N5M as at 2017 and claimed it was a red flag. Note that they didn’t have any evidence to link it to any crime. EFCC combed through my phones, read hundreds of emails, browsing history, purchase receipts, etc dating back as far as 2017, took me in for profiling three times, and yet, they couldn’t find any shred of evidence linking me to internet fraud EFCC told me that they have reason to detain me for up to 21 days without trial because according to them, I shouldn’t have N5M(single transaction) in my account as at 2017. Let that sink in!! They detained me for 8 days, tortured me for 3hrs the first day and yet they couldn’t find a single, or any shred of evidence linking me to cybercrime. Do you know how crazy it is for EFCC to investigate you for 8 days without finding any evidence of the crime you were arrested for? EFCC told me point blank that we know you’re not into fraud but “we can’t simply let you leave due to the huge sum found in your account” EFCC told my lawyer I said I don’t want to see him three times before he was eventually allowed in EFCC told my family that I declined their visitation request. Lastly EFCC said those who confessed to have committed internet fraud will leave the detention before me and they did. I was the last person to leave despite not finding a single evidence of cybercrime or internet fraud even till now
