@TheRealDayne took to his Twitter page on Monday afternoon to share the photo of the half-naked suspects, all packed at the back of the building which is said to be the anti-graft agency’s office in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The photo was taken from the window of a building close to the said EFCC office.

The social media user tweeted:
“As Spotted Today @officialEFCC zonal office in PH What’s your take on this?”
“They are people held by @officialEFCC zonal office in Port Harcourt.”
The photos have sparked outrage since they emerged on Twitter a few hours ago.
EndSARS advocate, Segun Awosanya is popularly known as Segalink in his reaction to the photos wrote:
“What is this madness?! Why is @officialEFCC worsening human right abuses in Nigeria?!
“In Nigeria once @PoliceNG starts threatening you with any institution know that such has gone to the dogs and no longer guarantees justice. This is why you hear “I’ll charge you to court!” Or “We’ll transfer this to EFCC” these have become known rackets where citizens are abused!
“There are @PoliceNG tactical units that illegally specialize in abducting innocent citizens under the guise of fighting corruption/fraud without any proof but demand huge ransom while keeping our youth hostage across Nigeria. The records are there & the authorities know this much
“Our major problem is that most of the parents of the victims are too vulnerable to do cases even with our promise or footing the bills. They won’t even testify after we secure the release of their wards and refund of the ransom paid. To put these rogues away we need witnesses.
“Without witnesses ready to follow through, these rogues profiting from human rights abuses and bloodletting only get a slap on the wrist with transfers or demotion. Help us to ensure they are tried for kidnapping by following through. Stop saying “we don’t want trouble.’
“There was a time I publicly defended EFCC to always have their investigations right before clamping down on people until of late when reports started flooding in about indiscriminate raids and demand for ransom. This is also common with IRT and other formations. This is Evil!”

What's your take on this???@segalink @GovWike @BelieveAllCom @AskPHPeople @Tweetestboi_ph @PHCinpictures
Again I repeat, you can't argue against the fact that Africa is cursed. Nigeria took 89% of that curse...
