Officers from the Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have detained 127 individuals suspected of internet fraud in Akure, Ondo State.
EFCC spokesperson, Mr. Dele Oyewale, announced this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
He explained that the suspects were apprehended in a pre-dawn raid at a “Yahoo Party” taking place simultaneously at Signature and Abah Clubs on Saturday in Akure, Ondo State.
”Credible intelligence showed that the alleged party was initially scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2024 but was later moved to Saturday to beat security and intelligence networks of the EFCC.
”The suspects have given useful information to investigators of the Directorate.
”Items recovered from them include ten exotic cars, phones, laptops, motor-cycle, wristwatches and many incriminating documents,” EFCC spokesman said.
According to him, they will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
