Ex-EFCC Staff Faces Arrest After Appearing on Lege Miami’s Matchmaking Show.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has ordered the arrest of its dismissed staff member, Olakunle Alex Folarin, after he was seen on a matchmaking programme hosted by popular entertainer Lege Miami on social media.

In a statement released on Monday via its official X handle, the commission disclosed that Folarin, who worked as a driver at its Ibadan Zonal Directorate, was sacked after being found guilty of certificate forgery. Despite his dismissal, he allegedly failed to return official property, including an EFCC identity card, prompting the order for his arrest.

“The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered his arrest for being in possession of some Commission’s properties, including an identity card, which he should have handed over upon being dismissed from the EFCC,” the statement read.

The commission strongly condemned Folarin’s appearance on Lege Miami’s platform, stressing that his conduct should not be linked to the agency. It further warned the public against associating the former employee’s post-dismissal activities with the EFCC.
