The anti-corruption agency announced these developments in an official statement posted on its verified social media account, X (formerly known as Twitter), on Tuesday.

The suspects have been accused of participating in fraudulent activities, specifically, deceiving unsuspecting individuals through romance.

“Operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at  House F10, Victoria Crest 4, Lekki, Lagos,” the agency said.

“The suspects: Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) were arrested at the residence of a musician: John Njeng Njeng (a.k.a Skales).

“The two suspects,  suspected of being involved in a dating scam, described Njeng as their ” mentor”. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njeng’s residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for a few months. They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
