In a statement released on its official X account, the EFCC confirmed that the suspects are currently in custody and will be charged in court after investigations are completed.

This latest crackdown underscores the Commission’s unwavering commitment to tackling cybercrime across Nigeria, particularly in communities close to higher institutions where internet fraud syndicates often recruit and operate.
