By Ezurike Ugochukwu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) on Thursday January 16th, 2025, uncovered a Yahoo academy in Benin city, Edo State.
Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the commission last Thursday discovered a school where young Nigerians are undergoing training in the act of internet fraud.
During the raid, the anti- graft agency arrested 25 suspected internet fraudsters in the cybercrimes training centre.
The suspects’ arrest at their hideout was triggered by credible intelligence that indicated the apartment being used as a yahoo academy or training school for internet-related fraud and other fraudulent activities.
Items recovered from the suspects include six exotic cars, laptops and phones.
The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
