The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested 25 suspected internet fraudsters in a cybercrime training centre in Benin, Edo.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale made this known in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Mr Oyewale said the arrest of the suspects at their hideout on Thursday in Benin was triggered by credible intelligence.

According to him, the apartment is being used as a “Yahoo” academy or training school for internet-related fraud and other fraudulent activities.

”Items recovered from the suspects include six exotic cars, laptops and phones.

”The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” he said.
