Recall that the EFCC operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Command last week Monday, November 13, 2023, arrested five suspects at a residential Inn and Disney Chicken Eatery, Barnawa, Kaduna following credible intelligence about their alleged internet-related fraud activities.
The suspected fraudsters: Favour Itung, Rachael Ande, Zuleiman Haruna, Abubakar Ismaila and Solomon Olobatoke.
The five accused were arrested without incident.
However, after the sting operation, six military personnel who witnessed the operation at Disney Chicken Eatery allegedly stormed the Kaduna Command and attempted to forcibly release the arrested fraud suspects.
Oyewale in a press release claimed they were subdued and detained over the security breach.
