The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday said it has arrested nine Internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo-Yahoo boys, in Abuja. The suspects were arrested by the Advance Fee Fraud Section of the Commission on November 30, 2018, a statement from acting EFCC spokesman Tony Orilade said.
He said they were picked up through an intelligence report received on the fraudulent activities of the suspected fraudsters residing somewhere along Airport Road, as they were obviously living above their means.
He said operatives of the EFCC had carried out surveillance for days on the activities of the fraudsters before they swooped in on them. Orilade gave their names as: Edwin Ogbomwan, Okouromi Franklin, Oseji Collins, Collins Onyekwuluje, Anyanechi Ekene, Tony Oviasuyi, Chidi Emeshili, Osaigbovo Aiseos and Osaigbovo Ikponmnosa.
He said the suspects had turned their residence into a safe haven for fraudulent activities using it as a place of abode and an operational office with computers, laptops, phones, modems, sim cards and so many other tools used to defraud Nigerians and foreigners alike. He said the suspects had created an identity using the names Thomas Jerry Star and John Ben.
The suspects, aged between 19 and 26 years, were arrested with two GLK Mercedes Benz, one Toyota Camry, Lexus Jeep and other valuables worth millions of naira, which they acquired through the proceeds from their fraudulent activities. He said they will be charged to court after investigations are concluded.
