The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has issued a stern warning to content creators, movie producers, and skit makers regarding the unauthorized use of EFCC-branded jackets, symbols, insignia, and other related items.
In a public notice released on its official Twitter page, the anti-corruption agency emphasized the need for proper authorization before featuring EFCC’s distinctive elements in their productions.
The EFCC, known for its relentless fight against financial crimes and corruption in Nigeria, has become synonymous with its identifiable jackets and symbols.
These distinctive marks represent the agency’s commitment to upholding justice and ensuring accountability.
However, the EFCC has noticed an increasing trend of their jackets and symbols being used without permission in various skits, movies, and other forms of content.
In their public notice, the EFCC stated, “Content creators, movies, and skit producers who use EFCC-branded jackets, symbols, insignia, and other accouterments without authorization are enjoined to desist from doing so, going forward. A word is enough for the wise!”
The message serves as a clear reminder to individuals and production teams that using EFCC’s intellectual property without proper consent is not only a violation of copyright laws but also a misrepresentation of the agency’s authority and objectives.
