- The EFCC has arrested 89 suspected internet fraudsters
- They were arrested in a night club in Ibadan
- According to the anti-graft agency, the nightclub is notorious for harbouring “yahoo-yahoo" boys
In what can be termed a massive crackdown, 89 suspected internet fraudsters have been arrested.
They were arrested in Ibadan by the personnel of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The suspected criminals were arrested at the popular Club 360.
Channels TV reports that the club is located on the Akala Expressway, Oluyole Extension in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
According to the anti-graft agency, EFCC officials embarked on series of investigations before the suspected fraudsters were arrested.
Going further, the EFCC said the nightclub is notorious for harbouring “yahoo-yahoo" boys.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that a group, Nigerians Against Corruption, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to re-appoint Ibrahim Magu for another four-year term.
Magu is currently approaching the end of his tenure as chairman of the EFCC.
“Mr President, We have all seen the works of Ibrahim Magu at EFCC. The high profile arrest, the constant arrest of yahoo-yahoo boys who are trying to give Nigeria a bad name. Even the banks have cleaned up their acts.
“Unlike in the past where EFCC engages in media trial, the agency under Magu has shifted from that era to real trial and arrest. This is a clear example that Magu means business,” the group said in a statement signed by its coordinator, Abdulmalik Adamu, and sent to journalists on Wednesday, October 30."

The group noted that the EFCC’s collaborative efforts with the FBI has resulted in over 200 arrests, 130 convictions and the recovery of a large number of proceeds of crime.
“The commission has also recovered several million traced to various commercial banks. Only a dedicated chairman like Magu can achieve these feats despite the fact that corruption is fighting back,” the group said.
