Popular celebrity lawyer Stan Alieke has stirred reactions from netizens after he recently called out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for raiding the home of a popular comedian without notice.

Speed Darlington's ex-lawyer, in a statement on Thursday, April 10, disclosed the incident occurred in February.

According to Alieke, the EFCC broke down his client's gate, tore down the house wall, door and windows just to gain entrance.

He disclosed that his client had refused to grant the anti-graft body entrance because he initially thought they were armed robbers.

Alieke claimed that upon forcefully gaining entrance into the house, the EFCC pushed the comedian's pregnant wife, "who fell and hit her stomach on the floor as they beat up everyone in sight."

However, upon realising who the comedian was, Alieke disclosed that the EFCC officials only apologised, urging him not to take the incident online.

Alieke disclosed that the case is currently in court, as he insisted that the EFCC must pay.

"This really has to stop. Many person have suffered this in the hands of @officialefcc rogue operatives," he said.

Sharing an update on the comedian's pregnant wife and son, Alieke wrote in a caption:

"The wife is still in the hospital from that experience, and their two-year-old son had convulsions & other series of attacks from that experience. Even when he had raised money to fix the apartment, his son & wife still get flashbacks whenever they enter the house so he had to look for another apartment & abandon the house for now."
