The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says the 60 young men arrested at an award ceremony in Abeokuta were suspected internet fraudsters.
EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement that its investigations showed that the event tagged “Peer Youths Awards”, was organized to reward high-level internet fraudsters.
“Items recovered from the suspects at the point of arrest include exotic cars, electronic devices, laptop computers and mobile phones.
“The suspects will soon be charged to court,” Uwujaren said.
No word has been heard from any of the 60 or their lawyers.
