The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested 15 suspected internet fraudsters in separate operations conducted in Abuja and River State.

The anti-graft agency disclosed this in statements posted on X.com on Friday.

It revealed that 11 suspected fraudsters were arrested by its operatives during an operation at Whimpey in Ada George area of PortHarcout, Rivers State.

The statement partly read, “Their arrest followed credible intelligence on their alleged internet fraud activities and several days of the Commission’s surveillance within the area.

“Seized from them are four cars, diverse item brands of phones, and laptop computers containing fraudulent documents”.

Meanwhile during a sting operation on Thursday in Abuja, the agency said it also apprehended four individuals following intelligence and surveillance on their activities in the Kubwa area.
