In a video trending online, the EFCC officials who dressed in mufti were seen barging into one of the rooms of the hotel.
An unidentified lady said to be a worker at the hotel was seen trying to open the door from inside when the men opened it forcefully.
One of them was seen slapping the lady reportedly before he ordered her out of the room.
The incident was captured on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).
In his statement, Oyewale said the incident happened during an early morning sting operation.

“Olukoyede assures the general public that the EFCC would continue to ply its job professionally and with profound respect for the rule of law.”
