For the first time in 13 years, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on thursday opened the doors of its interrogation rooms and its cells to reporters to inspect.
Chairman of the anti-graft agency Ibrahim Magu said the Commission does not torture suspects because it is investigating non-violent crimes.
The tour was organised by the EFCC to debunk reports that the commission tortures suspects in its custody.
He said the tour had become necessary to correct negative public perception of the EFCC and its operations.
He added that contrary to public perception, the commission would not pick on any person until proper investigation and background check were carried out.
“We do not torture people as it is being speculated, we do proper check on people before inviting them over”, he said.
