Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have reportedly stormed the Green Legacy Hotel, located within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State, and arrested some youths suspected to be internet fraudsters.
Chronicle NG gathered that EFCC operatives carried out the raid in the early hours of Sunday during a pool party at the premises of the library.
This comes just five days after the commission’s Ibadan Zonal Directorate caught a suspected internet fraudster with two locally produced firearms during a raid at K-Hotel in Itori, Ewekoro.
According to the anti-graft agency, the suspect was one of 55 people arrested during Wednesday’s operation.

According to the anti-corruption agency, the suspect was one of 55 people apprehended during Wednesday’s raid.
Speaking on the incident, an X user, Ayomide, in a post said, “Literally left my house past midnight to go to OOPL, got there, and the crowd was too much. I don’t like the settings, and my guy doesn’t like the settings, so we were just at the car park.
“Left around 1:30; 20 minutes later I get home, and I’m getting calls that EFCC is raiding OOPL.”
The Managing Director of OOPL Ventures, Vitalis Ortese, confirmed the incident, but he failed to elucidate on the details.
“Yes, they did. There was an incident this morning. We will find out, and we will let you know,” he told our correspondent.
At the time of filing this report, the EFCC had yet to comment on the raid.
