The Force Headquarters (FHQ) on Wednesday announced that operatives of the National Cybercrime Centre (NPF–NCCC) dismantled a sophisticated cyber fraud syndicate allegedly involved in the illegal diversion of a telecommunications company’s airtime and data resources valued at over ₦7.7 billion. Specifically, Hundeyin noted that the development was consequent upon a complaint made by a telecommunications firm, whose name he failed to mention. The arrested suspects, according to the statement, are: Ahmad Bala, Karibu Mohammed Shehu, Umar Habib, Obinna Ananaba, Ibrahim Shehu, and Masa’ud Sa’ad. “The breakthrough followed a petition by a Nigerian telecommunications company, which reported suspicious and unauthorized activities within its billing and payments infrastructure. It was further disclosed that substantial sums of money traced to the suspects’ accounts were also recovered, with prosecution to follow up on the conclusion of the investigation.
