On Friday, September 6, 2024, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested 44 people suspected of internet fraud in various locations around Ilorin, Kwara State. The arrests were made by the Ilorin Zonal Directorate following credible information about their involvement in online crimes.
The EFCC recovered several items from the suspects, including six exotic cars, laptops, smartphones, and charms. The suspects will face court charges once the investigation is complete. This follows a recent operation where 56 suspected internet fraudsters were also arrested by the Ilorin Directorate.
