The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has told content creators that they can’t use its name in any kind of media without getting written permission first. If they do, they could be prosecuted.
Naija News says that the EFCC sent out a statement on Saturday through its 𝕏 handle saying that it has noticed a growing trend among content creators using its name, logo, uniforms, and other official identity in skits and online videos.
The EFCC said that a lot of unauthorized comedy skits change its values and standards, and it made it clear that it has not given permission for any of these uses.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said in a statement that it has learned that some people and content creators are using the name, logo, and likeness of EFCC in skits and other media.
“Many of these skits don’t accurately reflect our values and how we do things. We want to let the public know that the EFCC has not given permission for any such use. Without written permission, the EFCC does not support, sponsor, or approve any comedy, drama, or online content that uses our name.
“Because of this, we ask that the public stop using our name, logo, uniforms, or any other identifying features in skits or promotional materials without first getting written permission.” Everyone who breaks these rules will be punished.
