EFCC apprehends 33 suspected internet fraudsters in Imo

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has arrested 33 suspected online fraudsters in Owerri, Imo state capital.

The arrest is in continuation of its clampdown on internet scammers across the country.

A statement by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, explains that the suspects were arrested in their hideout by operatives from Abuja and Enugu zonal offices.

The arrest comes barely a day after the EFCC announced the arrest of a cyber crime syndicate which specialises in business email compromise in Benin city, the Edo state capital.
