Nigerians were shocked and appalled on Wednesday when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) discovered a huge find in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos.
It was the latest in a string of raids and stash discoveries made by the anti-graft agency in recent weeks – courtesy of the whistleblower policy of the federal government.
24 hours after the raid, a storm of reactions keep pouring in on Twitter
While some Nigerians praise the effort of the EFCC, some believe the anti-graft agency could have done better and been more thorough.

Others simply found humour in the situation.
Here are some reactions from Twitter.
Good job by EFCC, but the culprit must be brought to book. Nigerians deserve to know. Complete the job by giving the names

Nobody will come forward to claim the stash EFCC found in Ikoyi. That one has become government money now.

EFCC should ensure diligent investigation of recovered looted money using forensic technics nd prosecution of culprits.

It will be very foolish for anyone with a promising future to take sides in the ongoing "EFCC Orphaned Money" saga. Just watch & enjoy 🍿

The discovery by EFCC has not solved d questions;
Where is Buhari?
Why did he miss the FEC meeting?
What is happening to 2017 budget?

At this rate, EFCC will recover enough money to fund this year's budget, and no meaningful project will be carried out. Smh.

EFCC just found dollars in Lagos. It's like we're just doing hide and seek with dollars in this Country.
