Content creators land in trouble for using EFCC name, logo

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has cautioned individuals and content creators against the unauthorised use of its name, logo, uniforms and other official identity in skits and online productions.

The anti-graft agency issued the warning after observing a growing trend of creators featuring the Commission in comedy and other digital content without approval.

In a video shared on X, the EFCC said such portrayals often distort its values and standard procedures, stressing that it has not granted permission for any such use.

“It has come to the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that some individuals and content creators are using the name, logo, and likeness of EFCC in skits and other media content.

“Many of these skits misrepresent our values and standard operating procedures. We wish to inform the general public that the EFCC has not authorized any such use. The EFCC does not endorse, sponsor, or approve any comedy, drama, or online content that uses our identity without written consent.

“Therefore, the public is hereby advised to cease and desist from using our name, logo, uniforms, or any identifying elements in skits or promotional content without prior written approval. Be warned, all who violate these instructions shall be prosecuted,” the statement said.

The Commission maintained that its identity must not be used in any form of media content without official written clearance, warning that violators would face legal action.
