“EFCC people are here!” he said.

Today’s raid comes as another episode since the EFCC started raiding.

Today’s raid comes as another episode since the EFCC started raiding BDC operations nationwide in a bid to stabilise the naira.

Last week, the anti-graft agency paraded over 20 BDC operators arrested in Abuja.
