The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission<\/a>, EFCC, Lagos Zonal Office, has arrested 18 suspected internet fraudsters in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The agency made the announcement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It listed the suspects as: Abass Mukhtar, Enitan Adekunle, Olakunle Araoyinbo, Korede Adetule, Christmas Gabriel, Christmas Yole, Christmas Emmanuel and Harrison Obayogbono.<\/p>\n

Others are: Victor Kenneth, Adewale Musibau, Oluwajuwon Shofuyi, Idris Abdulazeez, Oyeku Adeoye, Omilana Adeleke, Okeke Chucks, Peters Olamide, Abayomi Jones and Usman Olalekan.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cThe suspects were arrested during a sting operation at three different locations in the Alagbado area following intelligence reports received by the Commission from concerned members of the public about their alleged involvement in the criminal activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the raid, about five of the suspects attempted to escape arrest by taking refuge inside the ceiling of their apartments. They were, however, immediately apprehended by operatives of the EFCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cItems recovered from the suspects at the point of arrest include charms, phones, laptops and five cars \u2013 Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry 2004 model, Toyota Camry 2007 model, Toyota Camry 1999 model and Honda Pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement added that the suspects will soon be charged to court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
