Allegations have been made against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for purportedly using a photo of an eagle in its logo amid its Twitter response to Transparency International's ranking of Nigeria as the 146th most corrupt country out of 180 in the world.   Transparency International's latest report places Nigeria at the 146th position out of 180 countries with a score of 26.
