The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has responded to a social media user who posted a picture of the commission’s headquarters in Abuja, listing it as a “hotel” for sale.
On X, a verified Nigerian user with the handle @osere_x offered the property for N800 million, with an additional N120 million agent fee.
“HOTEL AVAILABLE. Location: Abuja. Price – 800M. Agent fee – 120M. Only serious buyers should DM,” @osere_x wrote.
The post quickly went viral, amassing 863 reposts, 508 replies, over 6,000 likes, and 433,000 views as of 9 a.m. on Tuesday, February 10.
The EFCC joined the conversation via its verified account, commenting, “Hmmm…. You get mind ooo🤔,” a phrase loosely meaning, “You do have guts.”
The response drew thousands of reactions and further fueled the discussion. The original poster later replied in Pidgin English: “Na una building? I even think say na kfc,” jokingly comparing the building to the international fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
