The Suspects Arrested
The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested more than 50 suspected internet fraudsters in Akure, the capital city of Ondo State.
The EFCC swoop took place in the early hours of Saturday, with the operatives raiding two hotels and nightclubs in the city.
The suspects, which included a bridegroom who was celebrating his bachelor’s eve with friends, were apprehended during the sting operation.
It was gathered that the EFCC team entered the nightclubs and lounges, using tear gas and physical force to detain the individuals.
According to the source, the operation was conducted around 1 am, with the agents seizing numerous vehicles, laptops, high-end smartphones, and other items from the scene.
“They were entering the nightclubs and lounges, tear-gassing people, beating and arresting them. They do not care who you are, even two soldiers were injured as they shot tear gas canisters inside one of the clubs,” a source said.
The source also expressed dismay at the apprehension of the groom-to-be, who was with his friends at a club for his bachelor’s eve celebration. “They also went away with a groom and his friends at a club, he was there for his bash eve, so sad as they profiled everyone as internet fraudsters,” the source added.
