The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) opened up about the death of popular tiktoker, Udeze Endurance, also known as Skuddy, who died after reportedly jumping off a four-storey building during an EFCC operation in Lagos.
According to the anti-graft agency, in a statement seen by Dockaysworld on its official X page, the incident occurred on November 4, 2025.
The statement revealed that the matter occurred during a sting operation at Periwinkle Estate, Lekki Phase 1, where EFCC operatives were carrying out arrests linked to alleged internet fraud.
The Commission said the operation went smoothly in most apartments, with four suspects arrested.
However, the situation took a tragic turn when Udeke and another resident of apartment W6a tried to escape arrest by jumping from the building.
Udeke did not survive the fall despite medical efforts to save him, while the other resident survived after being stabilised and treated at a hospital.
“The operation was smooth sailing in all the apartments and four suspected internet fraudsters were arrested. However, Udeke and one other resident of apartment W6a got wind of the operation and tried to escape arrest by jumping down from the four-storey building. Udeke did not survive the suicidal efforts, in spite of medical interventions made to rescue him. The other resident, however, survived after being stabilised and treated at the hospital,” the statement read.
The EFCC said it reached out to the deceased’s family immediately after the incident to explain what happened and the steps taken to save his life.
It added that the family appreciated the communication and the efforts made before his passing.
“The Commission, as a responsible law enforcement agency, contacted Udeke’s family with details of circumstances leading to his death. Efforts and medical interventions made to ensure his survival before his eventual passing were appreciated by the family,” it stated.
Expressing shock over the incident, the Commission said its operatives never came into direct contact with the deceased before he jumped.
“The Commission is shocked at the suicidal action of the deceased. There was no contact between officers of the Commission and the deceased before the unfortunate incident,” it said.
The EFCC further disclosed that it has reported the matter to the police, who have since begun an investigation into the case.
“The Commission reported the incident to the Police which has begun investigation into the incident. While we await the outcome of the investigation, it is important to remind the public that no one with nothing to hide has reason to be afraid of EFCC sting operation,” the agency added.
There’s been an uproar over the death of Skuddy with many calling for less heavy handedness from the ant graft agency while carrying out its dirties.
