32 alleged internet fraudsters, also known as ‘yahoo boys’ were arrested today by EFCC from Ibadan zonal office
A statement from the agency revealed that it was a difficult task arresting the suspects due to the ridiculous spots where they hid. According to them, some of them hid inside chairs but they were eventually arrested.
Aged between 15 and 39 years, the suspects were arrested at Liberty Estate, Laderin area of Abeokuta, Ogun during an early morning sting operation carried out by men of the commission.
Due to the timing, the suspects were taken by surprise when the EFCC operatives swept on them at one of their notorious havens in the ancient city.
Fourteen of them claimed to be undergraduates, while 18 others said they are self-employed in various vocations. Items recovered from them include six exotic cars, laptops, mobile phones, several fake documents and fetish objects.
The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
