EFCC reveals why operatives broke into BBNaija Dorathy’s house

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that its operatives broke into the residence of former BBNaija housemate, Dorathy Bachor.

Recall that Dorathy, on her Instagram page, lamented the sad incident and expressed frustration at how unsafe it is to be a Nigerian.

According to the star, the anti-graft officials allegedly broke into her house, saying they were after a suspected internet fraudster.

She said the EFCC officials identified her as a BBNaija star and left afterwards.

Reacting, EFCC in a statement on Monday said its operatives broke into the house because they refused to open the door.null

”The Commission can confirm that operatives from the Lagos Command of the Commission, acting on verified intelligence, executed a Search Warrant at a block of flats located in the Lekki area of Lagos on Monday, 23rd August, 2021 during which nine internet fraud suspects were arrested.

”Ms. Bachor’s apartment happened to be one of the flats in the building. EFCC operatives had knocked on her entrance door, identified themselves as being from the Commission on a mission to execute a Search Warrant. But they were refused entry, for several minutes by Bachor’s sister. The operatives were left with no choice than to force their way in, lest suspects escape or destroy vital evidence.

”It is important to state that law-abiding citizens have no reason to refuse the execution of a validly obtained Search Warrant. And, contrary to the information making the rounds in the social media, Ms. Bachor was not present during the operation and the anti- EFCC stories about her coming out half-naked among other fantastical details appear to have been invented to fit the pattern she and other internet-fueled stars so desperately want to push about the EFCC.

”It is important to reiterate that nine alleged internet fraud suspects were apprehended in the block of flats housing Ms. Bachor’s apartment.”

You Must Ban BBNaija, Students Tell FG

The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit, has asked the Federal Government to ban the ongoing reality show, BBNaija.

This is just as the student organization asked the federal government to put a stop to “illicit shows” on television.

It stated this in a statement by its Amir (President) Mallam Miftahudeen Thanni, on Thursday, to commemorate the 1443AH Islamic new year and International Youths Day.

He expressed concern over the hosting of the BBNaija show at a location in Lagos, a situation he described as “unfavourable for youths’ development in the state”.

This, Thanni said, “will be the best gift to mark international youth day.”

According to Thanni, the reality show has emerged as one of the most dangerous distractions confronting youths in the country.

He warned that the show would weaken the morality of youths, adding that banning it would send a strong signal to youths that the government promotes modesty.

The Muslim students’ leader wondered why the government “pretended” not to know the danger of the “nude, irritating and soul-damaging” programme while some of its officials disturb, harass, intimidate female Muslims who use the hijab.

He said, “The show negates everything about morality. It is evil and a danger that could damage the strong moral foundation that many Nigerian societies are known for. It is the worst distraction for Nigerian youths.

“This immorality extends beyond just nude dressing to encouraging youths to sell their bodies to get fame and make money. We express our total rejection of the programme and call on the government to ban it.

“This indirect porn programme is also giving teenagers a bad orientation that making it in life must come with a price of exposing their bodies, thereby causing high cases of rape in the society.”

Miftahudeen called on the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board to live up to their expectations by scrapping the programme on moral grounds.

“Relevant broadcast authorities should pay attention to the damaging nature of this programme. It is ruining the lives of youths. If Nigeria is serious about fighting crimes, we cannot afford to leave this kind of programme unscrapped,” he added.

Thanni also called on the government to intensify efforts to end insecurity in the country.

While congratulating Muslims over the New Year, Thanni commended governors who declared public holidays for Hijrah.

He, however, berated the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for not declaring a work-free day.
