The EFCC was acting upon a suggestion made by one of its followers on Twitter that the commission must go after all those who were hailed by 9ice in the song.
In the 2016 song which was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission for promoting fraud, 9ice hailed many social media celebrities who have been accused of fraud and living a luxurious life .
Twitter user, @onlydotcom, told the EFCC, “EFCC, sit down and listen to the song, Living Things, by 9ice and do your work with the fear of God. Nigeria will be better for it.” The EFCC responding on Twitter, said it couldn’t subjectively go after the people mentioned in the song rather would depend on the petition from the public.
