The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned content creators across Nigeria against the unauthorised use of its name, logo, uniforms, and other identifying elements in skits and online productions.
In a public notice, the anti-graft agency said it has observed a growing trend of creators using its identity in entertainment content without approval, stressing that such portrayals often misrepresent its operations and standards.
The EFCC made it clear that it does not endorse or sponsor any comedy, drama, or digital content that uses its branding without prior written consent, urging creators to desist immediately.
According to the commission, anyone found violating this directive risks facing legal consequences, as the unauthorised use of its identity is considered unlawful and punishable.
The warning also comes amid concerns over rising impersonation and fraudulent activities by individuals posing as EFCC operatives, which the agency says could mislead the public and damage its reputation.
Authorities advised content creators to seek proper approval before referencing the commission in any media production to avoid prosecution.
