According to EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, the internet fraudsters, aged between 15 and 39 years were arrested at Liberty Estate, Laderin area in Abeokuta, during an early morning operation carried out by men of the commission.

Orilade said in a statement: “Due to the timing, the suspects were taken by surprise when the EFCC operatives swept on them at one of their notorious havens in the ancient city.

“Fourteen of them claimed to be undergraduates while 18 others said they were self-employed in various vocations.”

He said the operation and subsequent arrests followed a petition detailing the alleged fraudulent activities of the gang including internet fraud through which they obtain money from unsuspecting victims.

Items recovered during the operation included six exotic cars, laptops, cell phones, several documents containing false pretences and fetish objects.

Orilade said the suspects were already helping operatives with useful information and will be charged to court once the investigation is concluded.
