The aggrieved businessman said his outlet had about 120 workers, but he had to sack about 80 per cent of his staff because of reduced patronage.

Ogunfolaju urged security agencies to have regard for business premises, adding that if they had targets, they should go after such people instead of harassing innocent customers. “I have a lot of facilities to service. All the loans I have taken from banks to maintain this place and all, how do I pay back? I am struggling as an entrepreneur to create jobs for people and these agencies are taking the jobs away from them,” he added.

A customer, Oladapo Ogunyinka, who claimed that an official of the EFCC seized his iPhone PRO Max 13 and Samsung Galaxy A22 valued at N900,000 and failed to tender them as evidence after the June raid, said he had yet to recover his phones. He said, “The EFCC officials that raided the club came from Ibadan, Oyo State. When I got there to claim my phones and showed them the officer, Olumide, who seized them from me during the raid, they started appealing to me and promised to help me get them., the EFCC officials at Ibadan started saying they could not do anything as one Chris Odofin, who brought the case from Ibadan, had transferred it to Abuja. I want my property back and as I speak to you, all my businesses have been affected.
