Rapper Oladips has recounted his experience with operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), describing how he was picked up during a night raid in his estate and detained for several days.
Speaking in a recent interview, the rapper said the incident occurred around 3 a.m. when officials entered his neighborhood.
“Nigeria just happened to me. It was just a normal night and they entered my Estate going from house to house. They came to my house as well. It was like 3 a.m. The crazy thing is that I knew they were inside the compound, but I don’t do fraud, I don’t do yahoo,” Oladips said.
“I was on my bed pressing my phone because that’s none of my business- na person wey do fraud go dey run. Next thing, I heard a loud noise from downstairs. They broke my kitchen door, entered my house, and were like, ‘Hey, hey, where’s your phone?’ I don’t even have a laptop, just two phones. They collected them and took me to their office.”
He explained that he was detained for several days and later released after the investigation.

“They didn’t find anything on my phone. One of their oga asked if I pay tax, so they just held me for that. I spent four, five days in that cell,” he said.
Oladips noted that he considered taking legal action but decided against it due to the process involved.
“I feel like when I came out I should have sued them because they collected money from me before they released me for nothing, absolutely nothing. I spent four, five days in their cell. But you know Nigeria – before I now sue them and start fighting for the money they collected from me, I’ll spend another money,” he added.
“The system is just messed up because I don’t know why I was locked up till date. They suffered me. You know Nigeria, before I’ll sue them and start spending money, it’s crazy. I can’t go through all of that stress, that was why I locked up,” he said.
