 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry.

EFCC Condemns Unauthorized Use of Its Operational Identities for Skit Making


A video, code-named:  “EFCC and Army Wahala” gaining traction across the social media, once again, compels  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to reiterate its warning to skit makers and other social workers to desist from using the operational identities of the Commission illegally and irresponsibly.

Operatives of the EFCC are not bullies.  They are trained as refined modern law enforcement officers rich in decency, civility and respect for members of the public, including suspects of economic and financial crimes.


Skit makers are warned again to desist from unauthorized use of the identities of the EFCC to ply their trade.  The Commission will not hesitate to bring to book anyone caught displaying its operational identities for any engagement.
