Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested nine individuals suspected of being involved in internet fraud in Abuja. The arrests took place on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at two locations in the Federal Capital Territory—Sunnyville Estate in Lokogoma and Open Heaven Estate in Dawaki.
The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the development in an official statement. He noted that the suspects were apprehended following intelligence reports on their alleged fraudulent activities.
During the raid, law enforcement officers recovered several valuable items believed to be linked to cybercrime. These include four luxury cars, multiple laptop computers, iPads, and mobile phones. The confiscated items are expected to serve as evidence in the ongoing investigation.
“The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the statement read.
