In a Twitter Space on Wednesday, monitored by SaharaReporters, the Deputy Commander of EFCC and Deputy Director, Legal and Prosecution, Sylvanus Tahir and Assistant Director, Legal and Prosecution, Cosmos Ugwu explained that landowners have to be cautious when leasing out their apartments as ignorance is no excuse in the law.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has warned house owners in the country against renting out or leasing their property to criminals or risk being jailed.According to Tahir, the act of leasing one's property to a criminal whether an internet fraudster or a person into other forms of crimes falls under section 3 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Fee Fraud-related Offences Act 2006 which highlights the 'Use of Premises' unlawfully.

Speaking on how uneducated landlords or caretakers can avoid falling victim to the tactics of fraudsters who might want to rent their property, Tahir said the landlord/caretaker can make use of the services of professionals in property management.He said, “Illiterate landlords or caretakers can outsource the responsibility to experts like estate surveyors, estate agents and lawyers who are professionals in property management.

Good! But you must first arrest the politicians that are sharing dollars without a business of earning dollars, politicians with multi million dollars missions in Abuja Lagos etc.

Edo catholic priest murder is a pure fulani terrorists attack on Edo state. I believe Edo people to change their slogan, denying Biafra and fight for freedom to be alive,with Biafrans. This killing in Edo has no police investigation cos,Police commissioner Abutu Yaro is a fulani

Misplaced order of mandate. You can't do this until you have drawn people out of poverty. That's the only time you can truly deter people from Yahoo: Give them jobs and then come back and enforce this. Btw, some of the politicians are Political Yahoo men. Deal wit them first

Can you imagine?

Ok ooooo officialEFCC Let me go and start looking for any neighbour that has been a DELEGATE or the beneficiary of any DELEGATE. Pls can you also advise the FG to help us add a new course in our universities: HOW TO BECOME A DELEGATE. WAEC Q: Are APC n PDP political parties?

We go soon do end officialEFCC just like the Endsars protest.

Anytime we want to copy,we always copy wrongly. When we are seriouse about fighting crime and criminality we all will know, for now, what they are doing is nothing but window 🪟 dressing.

The same should apply to information regarding terrorists and bandits, if you know the whereabouts of terrorists and bandits and you fail to report to the authorities,how many years imprisonment is that? Asking bcz we heard that some ppl up north use to harbor these criminals.

Everyone is replying to saharareporter, that's wrong you reply direct to EFCC. So they will be getting it as e dey hot.

What about politician lotting money borrowed by the government for infrastructure. Can’t you guys go after them.

So if my Neighbor na yahoo boy I must report am… una dey mad, useless people.

Problem is the people have lost confidence in govt. Again, when you report such people, your life is at risk, because some of the officials will eventually tell the suspects who did. That's how bad corruption has spread.

Go meet Tanko n start from there then we go continue the fight

I think is high time landlord get their lawyer s. They have a good case

How about this in government stealing our commonwealth and you know them? When are you going to send them to jail please? We have been waiting endlessly to see you make a show of them. Yeye dey smell

We have reported politicians that bought 100 million Naira form. Please do something about them.

Remember that is not in the constitution. First question the 100 million naira presidential primaries ticket buyers and those that bought delegates so we know you are serious.

Broad day light bullion vans and you guys did nothing. Even Landlord send dey do Yahoo. Dey there dey jones

Las Las Nigeria go reach everybody 😂😂😂😂😂

Mumu officialEFCC what of landlords that stole to build their houses who will report them?

Misplaced priority from one of the most useless arms of government. When they become law makers

They haven’t thought this thing all the way usual,the laws keep creating more collateral damage.

Ndi iberibe

Is land Lords that will be doing efcc job now. This government is sick, all her agencies are also very sick

Are our politicians included?

Can the EFCC, constitutionally, decide the jail term for an offense or they’re only attempting to strong arm landlords into assisting them with information? Just asking

Hello, please can you guys first arrest all politicians and public office holders of questionable wealth and properties, spread across Naija and the globe? What is the problem with our leaders?

Instead to be busy arresting looters of public funds... Here bringing shit nonsense

What about government official who was elected or appointed and all of a sudden start driving expensive cars own multiple buildings home and abroad, how many years in prison for them

Lolz. How about politicians?

When will officialEFCC jail formal CJN Tanko for all the crimes leveled against him or is he above the law as a Fulani Man

EFCC no get work again o,the big thieves wey dry steal billions of naira how do we report them,av u even arrest them .

Why this idiots threatening people huh, they not saying this because they are working but because they want people to see them as if they are working while they loot, the person that introduced EFCC did not do well at all. What crime is more than breaking into houses/hotels?

They should focus on the THIEVES in Government!

It will be nice to see a Judge that will convict one because his tenant committed a crime. That is, unless the trial will hold within EFCC offices, with their men as the prosecution, the defence, and the Judge.

It is true there is no work in Nigeria

There is no law prohibiting landlords from leasing their houses to 'yahoo boys'. officialEFCC is a law enforcement agency not a lawmaking body.The Act establishing EFCC did not empower them to issue that directive. Unless there's a legislation, officialEFCC is just making noise

Who do we report fraudulent politicians to? How many years will they serve?

Nigeria my country, I hail oo

Their only plan is to keep you poor nothing more to it. Nigeria is a country people should avoid at all cost. Referendum2023

So Nigerian Politicians, their means of income is not questionable?

Apc sold form 100 million naira to aspirants but efcc didn't ask those that bought the form how they made their money

Efcc is a government agency established to keep Nigerian youths poor. A wealthy Nigeria is bad for business to politicians since they won't need to sell their votes as they're not hungry. Can a landlord tell the difference between a yahoo boy from a remote worker?

Till this day. Name one that has been sent to jail for fraud. 000

What about the politicians destroying life’s

Una no well, shar, na who dey stay house una go arrest

Plenty sapa go hold landlords oh.. more so I think efcc is going to be indebted soon cos of law suits..

Maybe house rent go reduce... Cos these guys can pay house of 50k for 100k..

You people loot from the looters

EFCC pls also channel this your energy and busy body to the criminal politicians milking the country too , leave young men alone there is no job in this useless country

Don’t be a rat oh!! Snitches get ….

The EFCC should do their work start from the major ballers of this nations who steals funds with biro every day with impunity and then you will see that the rest are just minors, these fraudsters are even doing their communities more good than bad

The agency should do there jobs being a landlord does not make one a CIA or FBI.

I think what officialEFCC should do is to issue a word of honor - a cash rewards for anyone with useful information that can incriminate the fraudsters

Rubbish talk

I go soon dey report landlord wey give house to yahoo boys, them full my area

Where are you going to keep them? Where are the prisons? A failed govt in their usual style of inefficiency. A reasonable govt, will build tech hubs...and cyber hacking, simulation & testing centres to build and develop firewalls with these brains. But no! Brainless oldies!

What’s all these na , like they don’t know the real thief,

officialEFCC bawa ori re Koda abi MO ti ri report ni se u go pay salary ni

Unah no serious make I go da ask my tenants now say where them da get money? This people are becoming something else. Make unah just put everybody for jail nah

All of una dey mad, I no say make una no pursue yahoo boys (because me I don't support fraud),but wetin concern landlord for the mata?

Efcc didn’t see obiano that stole and looted Anambra treasury for 8yrs, dey no see ikpeazu that destroyed Abia state but na landlord and yahoo boys be there problems Referendum not election is the solution!!!!!!

Only internet fraudsters are the victims of EFCC, the politicians are always immune,or light jail term, is there any collobo, between the looter and the agency? No group of persons have questionable income like Nigeria politicians.

EFCC no day tire to talk nonsense?

The provision says: A person who, being the occupier or is concerned in the management of any premises, causes or knowingly permits the premises to be used for any purpose which constitutes an offence under this Act commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment..

Landlord go broke ..o .

How Nigeria identify them?, landlords don't have such intel.

We have reported bullion van tenant to you but you become blind , charity begins at home, deal with our first report and show us result, this will encourage us to do more . Yeye dey smell

This folks just want the youth to live a basic and under average life … just imagine people calling a 2010 Camry a luxury car smh … why can’t we report people living in poverty too? Nigeria is just a country where whoever it is makes rules and laws whenever they want.

Wahala

They will start buying houses. You guys should wake up abeg.

eti madt

Are they now parliamentarians!? They think they can just wake up and make a law with define punishment for defaulters!! They must be crazy!!

I need efcc number to report my neighbour, u can't tell me that working for the government will make u this rich pls help with. Efcc number pls

Those who negotiate with bandits will be jailed for life

Where is the law that backs this foolish statement.

The landlords will definitely suffer this, fraudsters can sell even the landlord’s house with very authentic document of the house and you think they can’t generate documents to show where they work? The EFCC is making a big mistake on this one..

Let EFCC first fish out those with questionable incomes in Govt ministries and agencies secure judgement against them.

Arrest your paymasters first

We hear

Useless set of people … that’s what is more important now than the collapsing country and you all neglected it … 2023 don reach now just watch …

Laughable, you can force nobody to give information he doesn't know

EFCC head no correct 💯

What's this one? Did you give landlords the houses they rent?you people don't want landlords to survive ni,what will now happen to fraudsters that are landlords themselves, who will report them?Be realistic with your demands abeg.

How does one know their intending tenant is 'Yahoo'? Again, what if the tenant shares the apartment with 'Yahoo' without knowledge? Lastly, these thieving government officials ought to get the Graft agencies' attention more...they steal from us, 'Yahoo' steal from outsiders.

Many politicians who either won or lost their primaries have publicly admitted to paying delegates. The EFCC has not arrested even one of them. They have left the work they were created to do to threaten landlords with 15 year jail for renting to alleged yahoo boys!

I wonder why this people don't flexes their muscles on political leaders.

Which section of our laws are they referencing with this? By the way what has happened to a man who turned his private residence to a bank receiving bullion vans loaded with several billions?

d same energy Efcc use on Yahoo boys Why not use d same energy on our corrupt politicians

Yahoo men nkor ?

What of electoral fraudsters?

What about internet fraudsters who happens to be Landlord

Go and question your God father Obasanjo

what is wrong with these people?

Cybercrime is a chain of destructive patterns afflicting our generation.

Are you mad or something

How about Tinubu bullion van that was reported to you? Useless government anti-graft agency

While the fulani caliphate terrorist ruling nigeria has set out their master plan of conquest of the indigenous people some of us are busy talking about 2023 politics. Mazi nnamdi kanu the son of God has revealed all the plans of the caliphate but people has failed to understand

Story story story

Mama junior I dey do remote jobs, abeg oh 😂🙏🏾

What of the community landlords & Tenants where fraudsters live. Na wa o.

Hepatoblastoma is a rare tumor (an abnormal malignant tissue growth) that originates in cells in the liver HELP savethelifeofFlorish She needs a liver transplant Sometimes the life of others are in our hands. DonatetoFlorish nothing is too small. 🙏

EFCC don dey do Legislature and Judiciary work now. Oga o😂😂

Accountant general nko,una don prosecute am. Thieves everywhere

They are busy chasing rat 🐀 when the house is on fire. The major looters of Nigeria are people in power. Children always follow the footsteps of their parents.

You have not finished jailing politicians with questionable incomes, even when there are clear evidence before you, it a common citizen that you're molding chest for. Start from the top.

It’s okay to talk rubbish but to prove to tell Court this same nonsense is another ball game, never forget Efcc nor be judge 👨‍⚖️ Na their to talk nonsense.

Na to go rent house for inside Sea dey do yahoo

NIGERIA AGENCIES ARE JOKE. ENDEFCC PROTEST LOADING, EFCC NEVER SEE IT COMING

All those politicians looting the country, who among them have gone 15 years jail term?

The accountant general of the federation has been reported about a month ago… how far have the EFCC gone with that report?

WHY UNA DEY ALWAYS LIKE TO INVESTIGATE PERSON WHENEVER E DON GET MONEY, WHY NOT WHEN HE DEY PPOR AND KNOW HOW TO HELP HIM OR HER OUT...ABEG MAKE UNA CARRY UNA MATTER GO ONESIDE

Efcc dey create laws now

How many politicians with questionable income have they arrested? What about their former boss?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

WHY UNA NO GO COME ASK MY LANDLORD WHY I NO DEY PAY RENT IN TIME WHY UNA NO GO GO ASK BANK PEOPLE WHY I NEVER DEPOSIT MONEY INTO MY ACCOUNT OVER 5 YEARS NOW

All this useless criminal should go and get those criminal politicians first before local people shame on Nigeria government..

Make we sha dey put on rags for body , dey beg for streets una want , koni daa fun gbogbo yin

See EFCC is about to end Mark my word lol

officialEFCC have lost it. Are you the judge that will carry out the sentence? The greatest yahoo boy is in the Villa go and arrest him.

When so many appointees are stealing billions to build factory and estate with exotic cars..you na dey there dey chase yahoo boys…I’m not in support of yahoo or any means of criminal act…but EFCC might need to be probe and face the law also..

LOL

Criminals. You want to collect your own cake as always. Where are all the convicted fellows? God dey watch all of una.

And the accountant general who stole 170 billion in total only spent 15 days because of his Fulani tribe, who’s fooling who?

Go and arrest magu n brurantai

What of landlords with questionable sources of income? Can politicians also be reported?

Coming from those who couldn't question the wealth of many politicians, Aba Kwari, Burutai, the list is endless... I hate this evil forest😡

Nigerians wake-up are we still not observing that many uniform people especially the army parading our streets are not Nigerians and national assembly has never approved the use of foreign machineries to fights insecurity. Citizens must rise up and start asking FG questions

Humbly submitting officialABAT and atiku to you. officialEFCC

Na moon yahoo boiz go dey stay now be that

This country don finish.

These guys are maaad😭

…and this will only be executed in the South.

What happen to The accountant general of the federation? officialEFCC you guys let the big thieves off the hook and you then go for petty thieves.

I don’t support yahoo in anyway but it is beginning to look like the government & its agencies prefer to see us look wretched.

What about the corrupt politicians

Of what business is it for officialEFCC, focus on your corrupt leaders and leave tenants alone. How the feed and support themselves is non of your business.
