EFCC arrests 28 suspected ‘Yahoo boys,’ seizes cars in Kwara
Operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested 28 suspected internet fraudsters in Kwara State.
The development signals a renewed EFCC crackdown on suspected fraudsters after a brief lull, according to reports.
The commission stated that the suspects were apprehended on Tuesday in coordinated sting operations at the Tanke, University Road, Oshin, and Agbabiaka areas of Ilorin.
The action followed credible intelligence on their alleged cybercrime activities.
During the raid, the commission said seven exotic cars—including a latest model Toyota Corolla and a Lexus—two motorcycles, high-end phones, and laptops, which are believed to be tools for online fraud, were recovered.
In a statement from its media office, the EFCC said the suspects would be charged to court at the end of the ongoing investigations.
