Popular Nigerian rapper Oladips has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of collecting ₦10 million from him before his release from detention.

The artiste made the revelation during a recent episode of the Trending Podcast, nearly a year after his arrest by EFCC operatives during a midnight raid in his estate in November 2024.

Oladips and several of his neighbours were detained for alleged internet fraud but were later released after spending about five days in custody.

Speaking on his experience, the rapper lamented the poor conditions of EFCC detention facilities and described his ordeal as “Nigeria just happening” to him.

“It’s just one smelling place like that. They packed us there like sardines and gave us nonsense food. Funny enough, it was Zlatan that was sending me food. Zlatan is not even a friend — that’s my blood,” he said.

Oladips claimed that despite EFCC finding nothing incriminating against him, the agency still demanded and collected ₦10 million before granting him release.

“I’m not even supposed to be there first of all. They didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing. And they still collected ₦10 million from me before they released me,” he alleged.

When asked if he planned to take legal action against the EFCC, Oladips expressed doubt about seeking justice, saying he lacked the influence to challenge the system.

“Who is my father? At the end of the day, it’s just me and my truth. If I were into fraud, I’d be on their page now. They know I’m saying the truth,” he added.

The EFCC is yet to respond publicly to the singer’s allegations at the time of this report.
