The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested four suspected internet fraudsters in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
According to the EFCC, the suspects were apprehended on Thursday, June 6, 2024, during a sting operation at the Kubwa axis of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The commission said the arrest was made possible through intelligence and surveillance on the suspects’ alleged fraudulent activities in the area.
Items recovered from the suspects include four brands of mobile phones.
The EFCC stated that the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
The commission’s action is part of its efforts to tackle the menace of internet fraud and other related crimes in the country.
The EFCC has been at the forefront of the fight against corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria, and has secured several convictions in recent years.
The commission has also been working to raise awareness about the dangers of internet fraud and has been collaborating with other agencies to tackle the problem.
With this latest arrest, the EFCC is sending a strong message to those involved in internet fraud that they will be caught and brought to justice.
As the commission continues to investigate and prosecute suspected fraudsters, it is also urging members of the public to report any suspicious activities to the EFCC.
