Midnight Drama: Obasanjo Presidential Library Vows To Drag EFCC To Court Over Sh*cking Raid

The Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has threatened legal action against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following a midnight raid on its premises last Sunday.

According to reports, operatives from the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 stormed the facility at around 2 a.m., arresting 93 youths and confiscating 18 vehicles along with multiple mobile devices. The operation took place during the Wet & Rave Splash Extravaganza party at the OOPL Rounda Fun Spot.

A viral video from the scene showed guests running in panic as gunshots echoed through the premises.

In a post on its official handle, the EFCC claimed the raid was based on “credible intelligence” linking attendees to internet fraud activities.

However, in a statement signed by OOPL Ventures’ Managing Director, Vitalis Ortese, the management condemned the incident as an “invasion of private property” and a “gross violation” of the rights of those present.

Ortese alleged that the raid—led by a man identified as “Olapade”—unleashed chaos and fear, leaving some attendees injured while attempting to flee.

“At about 2 a.m., over 50 armed men stormed the OOPL premises, firing shots and threatening lives, claiming to be EFCC operatives. The raid caused severe panic, injuries, and near carnage, terrifying both event guests and nearby residents,” the statement read.

He further noted that the EFCC team failed to present a warrant and did not inform the police officers stationed at the OOPL gates or those deployed from Kemta Police Station at the organizers’ request. Despite this, the operatives reportedly told security personnel, “We are doing our job.”

The management stressed that the party was a publicly advertised private event and demanded an explanation and formal apology from the EFCC for the “gangster-like” operation.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but OOPL has vowed to seek legal redress if the EFCC fails to respond satisfactorily.
