The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained 11 alleged online fraudsters in the Borno local government areas of Jere and Maiduguri.
Wilson Uwujaren, its spokesman, said this in an Abuja statement on Wednesday.
Olatunji Sherif, Bright Felix, Jude Magaji, Jonah Jondi, Ojobaro Abdullahi, Jerry Zizighi, and Micah Joseph were among those detained on Wednesday, according to him.
Mari Ayuba, Ibrahim Abdullahi, Adam Abiodun, and Victor Chinonso Okolieaboh are among the others.
Uwujaren said that they were apprehended in a sting operation as a result of reliable information on their suspected illegal activities.
“Among the items recovered at their home were a Mercedes-Benz GLK 350, a Toyota Corolla saloon car, smartphones, MTN 4G Wi-Fi, and power banks.”
“As soon as the investigation is completed, the suspects will be charged in court,” he stated.
