The Gombe zonal command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has announced the arrest of six suspected Internet fraudsters in Bauchi State.
In a statement, released via it’s website (www.efcc.gov.ng) and it’s social media handle X @official EFCC, (formerly known as Twitter) on Wednesday, the identified suspects are Okeychuku Ani, Rousham Danjuma, Iloabuchi Sideofor, Emmanuel Adibeh, Onyedikachi Iwanze, and Elijah Simon.
It was gathered that they were arrested last Saturday, 16 September, by EFCC operatives in their hideout at Old Government Reservation Area, GRA, Bauchi, Bauchi State.
According to the anti-graft agency, it said the arrests were based on actionable intelligence on the suspected involvement of the men in Internet-related offences.
“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the statement noted.
