At least 28 suspected internet fraudsters have been arrested on Tuesday by the operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Ilorin, Kwara State.
It was gathered that the arrest followed credible intelligence linking the suspects to cybercrime activities across the state capital.
The suspects were picked at Tanke, University Road, Oshin, and Agbabiaka areas.
During the sting operation, seven exotic cars, including a latest model Toyota Corolla and a Lexus, two motorcycles, as well as expensive phones and laptops, believed to be tools of the suspects’ illicit trade, were reportedly recovered from them.
The suspects would be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of the ongoing investigations.
