Saturday, June 8, 2024 -Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Saturday stormed some clubs and lounges in Akure, the Ondo State capital, where suspected internet fraudsters were arrested.
Among the suspects arrested by the
anti-graft agency was a groom-to-be who was picked while having his bachelor’s
eve with some of his friends in one of the popular clubs in Akure metropolis.
During the sting operation, which was
carried out in the wee hours of Saturday, no fewer than 50 suspected
individuals were apprehended by EFCC operatives.
According to sources, the EFCC personnel
who arrived in various vehicles fired gunshots into the air while raiding the
fun spots.
With the suspects taken away, vehicles,
laptops, smartphones, and other items were also seized during the operation.
One of the sources stated, “we were all
having fun when we suddenly saw the EFCC people entering the nightclubs. Then
they tear-gassed everyone, beating them up and arresting them.
“They don’t care who they are, as they shot
tear gas canisters inside one of the clubs.
“They also went away with a groom and his friends at a club; he was there for his bash eve, so sad as they profiled everyone as an Internet fraudster.”
