Nigerian spoke about EFCC
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man living in Canada, in a video, showed off the 2022 Hyundai Elantra car he bought.
He jokingly said that if he had bought the same car in Nigeria, security agencies like the EFCC and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) would be on his case.
To make his video more hilarious, he said that the soldiers and IG squad among many others would have come looking for him. The man noted that the country needs to do better as not all rich people are into fraud.
