The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been dealt a heavy blow following the killing of one of its officers in Anambra State.
The officer, whose identity has not been disclosed, was shot dead by suspected Yahoo Boys in the state.
According to reports, the EFCC officers were on a mission to arrest some suspected internet fraudsters in the state when they were ambushed by the suspects.
The suspects, who were allegedly armed with guns and other dangerous weapons, opened fire on the EFCC officers, killing one of them on the spot.
Another EFCC officer was injured in the attack and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in the state.
The EFCC has confirmed the incident and has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The killing of the EFCC officer is a clear indication of the dangers faced by law enforcement agents in Nigeria.
The EFCC has been at the forefront of the fight against corruption and internet fraud in Nigeria, and its officers have often been targeted by suspects.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for increased security for law enforcement agents in the country.
The EFCC has also called on the public to provide information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects.
The EFCC has been investigating a series of internet fraud cases in Anambra State, and its officers had been tracking the suspects for several weeks.
The suspects, who were allegedly involved in a series of internet scams, had been using fake identities and emails to defraud unsuspecting victims.
The EFCC officers had received a tip-off about the whereabouts of the suspects and had gone to arrest them.
However, the suspects were allegedly tipped off about the planned arrest and had laid an ambush for the EFCC officers.
The EFCC has confirmed that the suspects used sophisticated weapons to attack its officers.
They have also vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, and it is hoped that the suspects will be arrested and prosecuted soon.
