At least 28 suspected internet fraudsters have been arrested by the operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Kwara state.

The arrests followed credible intelligence linking the suspects to cybercrime activities across the state capital.

The suspects were picked at Tanke, University Road, Oshin, and Agbabiaka areas.

A source from the commission told Radio Nigeria that during the sting operation, seven exotic cars, including a latest model Toyota Corolla and a Lexus, two motorcycles, as well as expensive phones and laptops believed to be tools of the suspects’ illicit trade were recovered from them.

The suspects would be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of the ongoing investigations.
