The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced it is investigating the allegations by Nigerian rapper, Oladipupo Olademeji, popularly known as Oladips, that its operatives extorted N10 million from him during his detention in November 2024.

Oladips claimed that despite spending five days in custody, no incriminating evidence was found on him, but he was still forced to pay N10 million before his release.
