The management of the Green Legacy hotel, which is part of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, has threatened to take legal action against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following what it described as an “invasion” of its premises by operatives of the anti-graft agency.
In a statement, the hotel’s Managing Director, Vitalis Ortese, said that at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, approximately 50 armed men from the EFCC stormed the hotel in a “Gestapo style,” where they were “shooting guns, threatening to kill people” at a private event.
The management insisted that nobody was informed before the raid was carried out and emphasized that the event was a private function that had been widely advertised for days.

“It should also be noted that both the police officers stationed at the OOPL gates and additional police sent from the Kemta Police Station, as requested by the organisers of the event and management, stated that they were not informed of any planned operation by the EFCC and neither did they present any warrant.
“Management wishes to state that this action by the EFCC is a clear case of invasion of private property, infringement of OOPL rights, a corporate citizen, and indeed a stark and blatant violation of the rights of the people who so gathered for the event.
“The management demands an explanation of these impudent actions from the commission and an apology from the EFCC authorities for the infringement of its rights, to all those who gathered, and those who sustained serious injuries from the gangster like induced chaos. Failure for which the management will be compelled to seek redress, ” the statement said.
