The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it arrested 56 alleged internet fraudsters in Kwara capital, Ilorin.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the statement, the arrests were carried out between Tuesday and Wednesday at different locations within the city.

He said the arrest followed credible intelligence on the fraudster’s activities, throwing the state’s unsuspected citizens into pain and tears through their fraudulent pranks.

“Items recovered from them include 18 different brands of exotic cars, laptops, expensive smartphones, and charms.

“The suspects would be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of the ongoing investigations,” he said.
