EFCC arrests 28 suspected Yahoo boys in Ilorin
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended 28 suspected internet fraudsters in Ilorin, Kwara State, following a coordinated sting operation.
The arrests took place across several locations in the state capital, including Tanke, University Road, Oshin, and Agbabiaka.
According to the EFCC, items recovered from the suspects include seven exotic cars among them the latest models of Toyota Corolla and a Lexus as well as two motorcycles, laptops, premium mobile phones, and other gadgets believed to have been used for online fraud.
The anti-corruption agency said the suspects would be arraigned in court upon concluding the ongoing investigations.
The EFCC routinely arrests suspected internet fraudsters in urban communities across Nigeria as more young people find the illicit trade lucrative.
Convictions of suspected so-called Yahoo Boys have formed a significant part of those secured by the EFCC in courts over the years.
