The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced an investigation into 30 suspected internet fraudsters arrested at a ‘Yahoo’ training school, popularly known as Hustle Kingdom (HK) in Benin City, Edo State.
EFCC made this known on Tuesday, noting that the probe is being handled by operatives of its Benin Zonal Directorate.
The anti-corruption agency revealed that the suspects were apprehended by officers of the 4 Brigade of the Nigerian Army at their hideout in Benin City on Monday and handed over to the Commission for further investigation.
“At the time of arrest, the Yahoo School has full trappings of a conventional computer school with desktop computers, work stations and other computer accessories. There was also a compartment stocked with various fetish items.
“Items recovered from the suspects include a Toyota Corolla car, phones, laptops and Mpeg Audio-layer 3, MP3,” it stated.
The Commission added that the suspects will be charged to court after investigations are concluded.
