The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced plans to arraign 37 suspected internet fraudsters who were recently apprehended in various locations across Ilorin, Kwara State.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the EFCC disclosed that the suspects were arrested based on credible intelligence, leading to coordinated operations in Tanke Oke-Odo, Alao Farm Estate, Yidi Road, and Irewolede areas of the state capital.

According to the commission, 15 suspects were picked up at a location in the Tanke area, while 22 others were arrested earlier in separate operations within Ilorin.

The statement read, “Operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, arrested 15 suspected internet fraudsters in the Tanke Oke-Odo area of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

“Officers of the directorate had earlier on Friday, March 22, 2025, arrested 22 suspected Internet fraudsters in Tanke, Alao Farm Estate, Yidi Road, and Irewolede areas of Ilorin.

“Both arrests brought to 37 the number of suspected Internet fraudsters rounded up in Ilorin by the anti-graft in a space of one week.”

The statement added that exhibits including luxury cars, smartphones and laptops were recovered from the suspects.

It continued that the suspect would be charged in court upon the conclusion of an ongoing investigation.

“The arrest of the suspects followed credible intelligence that linked them to fraudulent internet activities. Items recovered from them at the point of arrest included eight luxury cars, smartphones and high-end laptop computers.

“The suspects will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations,” the statement concluded.

PUNCH Metro reported on February 25 that the EFCC operatives arrested 59 individuals for alleged internet fraud.
