A Nigerian X user, identified as Chef Dan, has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to loan him N400,000 from funds recovered from individuals convicted of embezzlement.
Chef Dan made the request in a post on X while tagging the EFCC’s official account.
He wrote, “I’m broke and I need money to pay rent by next month, can you guys borrow me 400k from the money EFCC recovered from embezzlers?
“I will pay back 15k every month for 2 years.”
The X user also asked the anti-graft agency to lend him one of the vehicles seized during its investigations, saying he could use it to start an Uber business.
He wrote, “I no go mind if you guys can borrow me car from the cars EFCC seized from people.
“Camry (muscle sport) will good to Uber.
“Make I start Uber business and I will be paying 30k weekly.”
Responding to the request, the EFCC clarified that its name does not imply that the agency provides financial services or loans.
