The management of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Inspector General of Police to apologize for invading its premises last Sunday.
The library also demanded N3.5 billion in restitution for damages caused to victims and harm to its reputation.
The EFCC had stormed the OOPL premises, arresting 93 suspected internet fraudsters, seizing 18 vehicles, and mobile devices.
The library’s Managing Director, Vitalis Ortese, described the EFCC’s actions as “unlawful” and “a direct assault on everything the institution stands for.”
The OOPL management demanded a comprehensive investigation into the incident, publication of the report, and a public apology from the EFCC and Police.
They also sought restitution for the damage caused to those arrested and bodily injuries suffered, as well as atonement for the harm to the library’s reputation and that of its chief promoter, Olusegun Obasanjo.
The demands include N1 billion for restitution to the victims and N2.5 billion for damage to the library’s reputation.
The library has engaged legal counsel, security experts, and civil society partners to demand accountability and protect the rights of its patrons and staff.
