It was another success to the Economic and Financial Crime
Commission, EFCC last week Saturday, 3rd February, when the commission arrested
no fewer than 15 suspected Internet fraudsters, pupolarly known as Yahoo boys in
Sagamu for offences bordering on obtaining by false pretence, lottery scam and
love scam.
The suspects are: Adeyemi Tiwatope, 20; Odeyemi Olawale, 20; Nike
Afolabi Olaiya, 20; Awe Abimbola Ireti, 23; Yusuf Aliu Oluwafemi, 20; Osidipe

Gbadebo, 19.
The suspects were arrested on Saturday, February 3, 2018 in the
Shotubo and Awoluwo areas of Sagamu, Ogun State.
Their arrest followed intelligence report received by the
Commission about their criminal activities.
They were alleged to be living flamboyantly without legitimate
sources of income.
Items recovered from the suspects include laptops, phones bearing
scanned forged documents, six exotic cars, charms and SIM cards, among others.
Meanwhile, in a related development, the EFCC also recovered
coffins, calabashes and gourds from the home of a suspected kingpin of a
syndicate of fraudsters, Adesanya R. Olaoluwa, who is currently under the EFCC
watch.
Olaoluwa is alleged to be a herbalist who performs rituals for
fraudsters to hypnotise unsuspecting victims.
The suspects will soon be charged to court as soon as
investigations are concluded.
