The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has ordered the arrest of one of its dismissed staff members, Olakunle Alex Folarin, after he was spotted participating in an online matchmaking programme hosted by entertainer Lege Miami.

 

Folarin’s appearance on Lege Miami’s TikTok live dating platform quickly went viral, drawing public attention and raising questions about his identity as an EFCC officer.

 

In a statement released via its official X handle on Monday, the Commission clarified that Folarin had already been dismissed for certificate forgery.

 

“Folarin was a driver at the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the EFCC and was recently dismissed for certificate forgery,” the statement said.

 

The EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has now ordered Folarin’s arrest over the unlawful possession of Commission property, including an official Identity Card, which he failed to return upon dismissal.

 

The agency also cautioned the public against associating Folarin’s post-dismissal activities with the EFCC.
