Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Benin Zonal Command, on Wednesday, arrested 11 suspected internet fraudsters.
They were arrested at their various hideouts in Benin City, Edo State, following actionable intelligence worked upon by the Commission.
The suspects are Okon Destiny, Efe Edomwonyi, Tony Osarobo, Moses Osazee, Ojo Festus, Christian Odiase and Bright Obaro. Others are Precious Aghedo, Harmony Enobakhare, Oluwafemi Adigun and Gift Inedegbor.
Items recovered from them at the point of arrest include various brands of mobile phones, laptops and four vehicles.
When TheIdeal contacted the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, last night, he confirmed the development, saying that the suspects will soon be arraigned in court, once investigations are concluded.
