A statement posted on the official X handle of the commission said the alleged internet fraudsters were arrested on Saturday morning at a “Yahoo Party” held simultaneously at Signature and Abah Clubs in Akure, the state capital.

“Credible intelligence showed that the alleged party was initially scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2024 but was later moved to Saturday to beat security and intelligence networks of the EFCC,” the statement partly read.
