In a Facebook post on Thursday, the lawyer chronicled his encounter with EFCC officers at the agency’s headquarters in the Jabi area of Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The Managing Partner at Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, said the “chaotic experience” at the agency’s gate has been eradicated.

He said, “After a while, I visited an EFCC office today and was thoroughly impressed. Nigeria seems to be improving. The professionalism at the EFCC Headquarters stood out, showcasing a significant transformation with the eradication of chaotic experiences at the gate.

“The new Chairman’s commendable efforts are evident, and the EFCC’s commitment to avoiding involvement in civil matters is noteworthy.

“However, I was perplexed to see numerous well-dressed officers working in slippers like you well dressed and now have slippers, a consistent sight among both senior and junior staff in the compound. If I were visiting from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), such a detail would genuinely raise concerns.”

President Bola Tinubu appointed Olukoyede as EFCC boss last October after the controversial exit of Abdulrasheed Bawa.

Upon assumption of office, Olukoyede, a trained lawyer, had banned EFCC officers from Gestapo night raids, drawing commendations from near and far.
