According to him, the agency is planning on setting up regulatory controls for the money lenders in Nigeria due to its findings during its raids.

What FCCPC is saying about the money lenders

The FCCPC stated that during the raid, they discovered that “this is much more serious than we thought and we have to now look at how we can bring these people into the regulatory framework.

“On the raid that we conducted on Opebi Street in Lagos, we discovered that this is much more serious than we thought it is .The hall was very big, each person has a computer with phone to reach loan defaulters.

“In the process, we took from them 119 laptops, eight mobile phones, one table phone and one hard drive. These devices are now with forensic experts and if we look at them and all the things that we can gather from them, we can now decide on the way forward. This is because there are faces behind these fellows.”

 

He added that the workers at the sites were unemployed graduates who do not have any other means of livelihood, who tried to even riot against us for preventing them from doing what their job is.

“They said Chinese gave them employment and the Federal Government did not and the Federal Government said they should not continue with what they are doing, adding that they felt it proper to attack the FCCPC, which saw the Police being brought in as cover to shoot in the air to disperse them. It was a terrible experience we have to now look at how we can bring these people into the regulatory framework,” he added.
