The interrogation room and in house clinic where detainees are first treated in case of emergency are part of the facilities in the building.
The former acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, while taking the reporters on a tour of the facility during his tenure was quoted saying, “If anyone of you think all these have been arranged, you are welcome to come at anytime you chose, to spend time with us and see for yourself (you can even spend some days in the cell); see how EFCC carries out investigation, arrest, interrogation and if you want, be detained as long as you say, in any of our facilities across the country. You don’t need to give us prior notice of your coming. You can even arrange it as a group of reporters if you don’t want to come alone.” he said.
