Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested 10 suspected internet fraudsters.
Head of Media and Publicity, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, said the suspects were arrested on Friday, November 22, 2024, at Adewale Estate and Sea Side Estate in the Badore area of Lagos State.
He noted that their arrest followed credible intelligence on the activities of some members of an Organised Cybercrime Syndicate Network, OCSN, suspected to be involved in computer-related fraud.
According to Oyewale, the commission also recovered items such as exotic cars, mobile devices and mobile phones from the suspects.
The suspects have all volunteered their statements.
They will be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.
