Popular Nigerian rapper Oladips has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of extorting N10 million from him before securing his release after his arrest in 2024.
The artiste made the allegation while recounting his ordeal nearly a year after he was detained during an EFCC midnight raid on his estate.
Oladips, who was arrested alongside some of his neighbours over alleged internet fraud, said he spent about five days in detention before regaining freedom.
Speaking on the Trending podcast, the rapper insisted that the EFCC found nothing incriminating against him, yet still demanded money before letting him go.
“It’s just one smelling place like that. They just packed us there like sardines and they gave us nonsense food. Funny enough it was Zlatan that was sending me food. Zlatan is not even a friend, that’s my blood.
“He was sending someone to buy good food for me because the food there is bad. They just packed us there like sardines. I’m not even supposed to be there first of all. Like, why did I spend four to five days there when you people (EFCC) didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing. And they still collect N10 million from me before they released me,” he said.
When asked if he planned to take legal action against the anti-graft agency, Oladips dismissed the idea, suggesting he lacked the influence to challenge the system.
“Who is my father now? At the end of the day, who is my father? It’s just me and my truth. It’s not something I will want to. I don’t just know how the system works. I for dey their page now if to say I dey do Yahoo. They didn’t find anything on me. If they are watching this, they know that I’m saying the truth.
“They collected money from me before they released me. They didn’t find anything on me. So, what was the money for? What was all that stress and suffering for? It’s just Nigeria. Nigeria just happened to me,” he added.
