The Benin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has raided hotels in Benin City and arrested 93 suspects in a clampdown on internet fraudsters in Edo State.
The Chairman Business and Hoteliers Stakeholders Forum (BHSF) in the state, Omogiade Edokpolor, who disclosed this to journalists while kicking against the raid, said suspects were arrested last Sunday at various hotels while celebrating birthdays.
“Ninety-three suspected internet fraudsters were on Sunday arrested during a clampdown by the EFCC in our various hotels.
They have neither been released nor allowed access to their lawyers,” he said.
Responding, EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewole, confirmed the arrest, saying their arrest was supported by a warrant.
