In Oyo state, ten alleged internet fraudsters were arrested on Friday by men from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Suspects: Isaac Ogundayo; David Ayodele; Etiowe Kelvin; Seun Afolabi; Saheed Olalekan; Oluwatobi Damilola; Sukanmi Odofin; Ademola Okunola; Joseph Damilare and Abass Sodiq were arrested by Commission men from the Ibadan Zonal Office in their hideout on Ajinde Road 4, off Akala-Expressway, Ibadan, in the early hours of Friday.

Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC Manager, Media & Publicity, said the suspects' arrest followed reliable intelligence and several weeks of surveillance on the site.

He added some fake papers, and at the point of the arrest, several instruments of fraud were retrieved from the suspects.

“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed,” he stated.
