Nigerians Mock EFCC’s “Little Livers” for Targeting Minor Suspects While Ignoring Tompolo and Okoya

 

Government Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, a former militant leader, and billionaire Rasak Okoya have become focal points of public discourse in Nigeria as citizens criticize the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its apparent reluctance to pursue high-profile figures. Nigerians have taken to social media to mock the agency, dubbing it “little livers” to highlight what they perceive as cowardice and selective enforcement in the fight against corruption.

The criticism stems from ongoing online debates questioning why the EFCC aggressively targets minor suspects while remaining conspicuously silent on influential or politically connected individuals like Tompolo and Okoya. This sentiment has fueled a wave of frustration among the public, with many expressing disappointment over what they see as double standards in Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts. The mocking tone reflects deep-seated dissatisfaction with the agency’s approach, as citizens demand greater accountability and impartiality in addressing financial crimes across all levels of society.
