A Nigerian woman has cried out after operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed her home at 4 a.m., broke down her door, and assaulted her husband while searching his phone.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman recounted the ordeal in a video that has since sparked outrage online.
She claimed the EFCC operatives gained access to their compound by climbing over the fence while she and her husband were asleep.
According to her, they began hitting the door until it gave way, destroying a door she described as expensive.
Upon entering, they allegedly beat up her husband and demanded his phone, which they thoroughly searched.
She said nothing incriminating was found, and the operatives simply told her husband “sorry” before leaving.
She added that the raid wasn’t isolated to her home, claiming other houses on the street were also affected.
In her words: “This morning, we were sleeping in our room. EFCC came around 4 a.m. and started hitting our door. They destroyed it.”
“When we came out, they beat up my husband, asked for his phone, searched it, searched our house, and at the end of the day, all they said was sorry. They climbed into our house from the fence.”
The video has stirred reactions online, with many expressing shock and calling for accountability.
