Please note
Belmadeng is an independent study platform and is not affiliated with the EFCC. This is general, informational content — report crimes and check recruitment only through official EFCC channels (efcc.gov.ng). Beware fake “EFCC recruitment” sites and anyone asking for payment — the EFCC does not charge to apply. If a crime is in progress or you are in danger, contact the Police.
Official channels
The EFCC’s official website is efcc.gov.ng, which carries its reporting channels, hotline, and central email ([email protected]). Always start there.
Headquarters & zonal offices
The EFCC has its headquarters in Abuja and zonal offices across the country, so you can report in person at the office nearest you. Find the current office list on the official website.
Reporting a crime
Use the online petition portal, the hotline/email, or a zonal office — see how to report and gather your evidence first.
Avoid impersonation
Scammers impersonate the EFCC (fake calls, sites and “recruitment” pages). The EFCC won’t ask you to pay to report a case or apply for a job. Verify everything on the official site.
Tips
- Start at efcc.gov.ng.
- Use the nearest zonal office for in-person reports.
- Never pay to report or apply.
Reach the EFCC digitally first
For most people the fastest way to reach the EFCC isn't a journey — it's your phone. You can:
- Email [email protected] with your report and evidence attached.
- Use the Eagle Eye App (Google Play / Apple App Store) for quick, even anonymous, reporting.
- Message @officialefcc on Facebook, X and Instagram.
These digital routes work wherever you are in Nigeria — or abroad — and get your evidence in without travel. Always keep the reference number you receive.
Zonal commands across Nigeria
The EFCC's headquarters is in Abuja (Plot 301/302, Institution and Research Cadastral District, Jabi), backed by zonal commands so you can deal with an office nearer home — among them Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, Maiduguri, Makurdi, Sokoto, Uyo and Ekiti, plus the EFCC Academy in Karu. Office addresses and phone numbers can change over time, so always confirm your nearest command's current details on the official EFCC website before setting out.
Visiting or writing to an office
If your case calls for an in-person statement, or you'd rather hand in a written petition, use the zonal command closest to you. Bring valid identification and copies of all your evidence (keep the originals), and be ready to give a formal recorded statement. A local command is often the most practical route for face-to-face follow-up, while digital channels remain best for the initial report and for anyone far from an office.
