The Abuja Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has uncovered yet another underworld ‘academy’ for the grooming of internet fraudsters.
The ‘academy’ which is located in the Arab Contractors Area of Mpape Hills, a suburb of Abuja, the nation’s capital was discovered when operatives, acting on intelligence, stormed the base on Thursday, and arrested 27 internet fraud suspects.
The coordinator of the ‘academy’, a 30-year-old Emmanuel Clement, and his students are mostly young school leavers, ladies inclusive, within the age range of 18 to 25 years.
Items recovered from the suspects include a Toyota Venza car, 30 mobile phones, and one laptop.
According to the EFCC, the suspects will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
