The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stated that the recent protest at Kwara Polytechnic is not connected to its ongoing operations. The EFCC clarified that its current activities are focused on targeting fraud suspects, not students or staff at the institution. This matters because it addresses public concerns about the cause of the protest and the role of law enforcement in the region.
