‘How can EFCC be this cruel’ – Actors Guild of Nigeria’s President Emeka Rollas blows hot to EFCC for what they did to Rising Nollywood star actress Helena Duru
The Actors Guild of Nigeria’s President Emeka Rollas has taken to his Instagram page to react to the shocking news of officials of The Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), allegedly brutalizating and beating a young actress, Helena Duru.
The fast rising Nigerian movie star in her post had narrated how the unidentified men allegedly EFCC officials broke into her home and tried to get her to open the door
In a statement, She narrated that upon their forceful gaining entry, the now identified EFCC officers who seemed to be Hausa men took turns in giving the actress rounds of beating.
She further revealed that she ran and in a bid to report to their superior who was waiting downstairs for them, the Nollywood star got another round of beating.
This time, the superior repeatedly hit her head until she felt fluid running down her face which turned out to be blood. In confirmation to Duru’s post were several videos of her bleeding head and parts of her body that took the hit during the terrible ordeal.
“The next thing we heard they started damaging the staircase door and gained access . I went inside my room and locked the door. Two men climbed to my flat, damaged my two doors, gained access into my house and started beating me. I got a slap first that made me shout Jesus Christ . They spoke in Hausa language but all I could hear was “yamiri” the beating became intense as they beat me in turns , using a rod/stick ( don’t exactly know what that was ) all over my body . One picked my usb phone cord and descended on me.”
In affirmation to the claim, Emeka Rollas shared gory videos of the damages done to Duru’s body and her apartment.
Below are photos and videos from actress Helena Duru, just swipe through.
He captioned his post: “How cruel can EFCC be? This young up coming Actress Helena Duru was beaten blue black at about 2:30am by EFCC operatives for nothing claiming she didn’t open the corridor door for them to have access to the upstairs of her compound where she resides in Asaba.
Two of the operatives were identified as ADE and ABDULAHI from the Enugu Zonal office. Before going for this operation they reported at the police station in Asaba.
I took this matter up personally by getting the EFCC chairman involved with a petition via a lawyer for compensation for this lady whose privacy EFCC invaded. EFCC invited her to listen to her version and she was interviewed by operatives named JULIANA and ERIC in the EFCC and we have their official numbers.
It’s been three weeks since the visit yet no further actions by the EFCC. It’s obvious EFCC is keeping quiet so that the tempo would die down if not, is ADE and ABDULAHI the high and mighty that they cannot be brought to book?
We have seen various policemen being dismissed for various misconduct in the recent past. Why is EFCC own different?
By the way I saw Adedayo Thomas ED Censors Board on a visit to EFCC few weeks ago clamouring for Nollywood the EFCC.
Is it with stuffs like this?
We are asking EFCC to make public the report by JULIANA and Eric.
All Actors should repost this as many times as possible to get justice for Helena.”
