Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested 25 suspected internet fraudsters in an alleged cybercrime training centre in Benin City, Edo State.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja.
According to him, the arrest of the suspects at their hideout on Thursday in Benin City, was triggered by credible intelligence.
He said that the apartment is being used as a ‘yahoo’ academy or training school for internet-related fraud and other fraudulent activities.
”Items recovered from the suspects include six exotic cars, laptops and phones.
”The suspects will be charged to court, as soon as investigations are concluded,” he said.
