Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended seven individuals suspected to be involved in internet-related fraud activities during separate sting operations carried out in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The arrests took place in the Lifecamp and Kubwa areas, following credible intelligence received by the anti-graft agency.
According to EFCC officials, the suspects were taken into custody after weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering, which revealed patterns consistent with cybercrime activities. Items recovered during the operation include laptops, mobile phones, luxury vehicles, and other electronic devices believed to have been used to perpetrate online fraud.
The suspects are currently being interrogated and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded. The commission reaffirmed its commitment to rid the country of cybercrime and warned that Abuja, like other major cities, would continue to be under close watch as part of its broader anti-corruption campaign. The EFCC urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious financial activities within their communities.
