The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says it has arrested 47 suspected internet fraudsters in Benin, Edo.
The operatives of the commission also recovered a Pump Action Rifle and live cartridges from one of the suspects.
EFCC Spokesman, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
He said the arrest followed credible intelligence that linked the suspects to fraudulent internet activities.
“Other items recovered from them include, six vehicles, mobile phones and laptop computers.
“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” he said.
