The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested six suspected internet fraudsters.
This was contained in a statement issued by the commission’s acting spokesperson, Tony Orilade, and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the suspects, made up of five males and a female, were arrested on Monday at Oluyole and Alao-Akala Estate areas of the city.
Orilade said one of the suspects was caught with a mini coffin containing fetish materials.
He said the arrest followed weeks of piecing together tips on intelligence received on the suspects’ alleged involvement in internet fraud.
The EFCC spokesperson said other items recovered from the suspects were four cars, sophisticated phones and an Automated Teller Machine card.
