The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested a total of 15 suspected Internet fraudsters in separate operations conducted in Abuja and Rivers State.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in statements posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
It revealed that 11 suspected fraudsters were arrested by its operatives during an operation at Whimpey in the Ada George area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The statement partly read, “Their arrest followed credible intelligence on their alleged internet fraud activities and several days of the commission’s surveillance within the areas.
Seized from them are four cars, diverse brands of phones, and laptop computers containing fraudulent documents.”
Meanwhile, during a sting operation on Thursday in Abuja, the agency said it also apprehended four individuals following intelligence and surveillance on their activities in the Kubwa area.
The suspects were reported to be in possession of “four brands of mobile phones.”
The EFCC said the suspects will be charged after investigations are concluded.
