Popular Nigerian artist Oladips has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of stealing ₦10 million from him.
The rapper revealed this almost a year after the EFCC arrested him during a midnight raid on his property.
In November 2024, Oladips and a few of his neighbours were arrested on suspicion of fraud.
He was held for five days before being released.
In his most recent interview on the Trending podcast, Oladips talked about his experience with the EFCC and said that nothing was discovered on him during their investigations.
While revealing that the EFCC collected N10 million from him before his release, he lamented that “Nigeria just happened to me”.
“It’s just one smelling place like that. They just packed us there like sardines and they gave us nonsense food. Funny enough it was Zlatan that was sending me food. Zlatan is not even a friend, that’s my blood.
“He was sending someone to buy good food for me because the food there is bad. They just packed us there like sardines. I’m not even supposed to be there first of all. Like, why did I spend four to five days there when you people (EFCC) didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing. And they still collect N10 million from me before they released me.”
When asked “Is it a thing you can take up against the EFCC later, or you will just allow the sleeping dog lie?”, the singer responded “Who is my father?”
“Who is my father now? At the end of the day, who is my father? It’s just me and my truth. It’s not something I will want to. I don’t just know how the system works. I for dey their page now if to say I dey do Yahoo. They didn’t find anything on me. If they are watching this, they know that I’m saying the truth.
“They collected money from me before they released me. They didn’t find anything on me. So, what was the money for? What was all that stress and suffering for? It’s just Nigeria. Nigeria just happened to me,” he said.
