The Enugu Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday September, 2019 raided two residential buildings at Maryland, Enugu, arresting 28 suspected fraudsters.

The arrests were made following intelligence obtained by the Commission regarding activities of some of the suspects alleged to have defrauded many unsuspecting victims (within and outside the country) of huge sums of money through their nefarious operations.

In the course of executing search at the residences of the suspects, many of them attempted destroying some phones found on them which were however recovered. A female suspect who was also trying to a brake an Iphone and flush it down the toilet, was also caught.

Some incriminating items recovered from the suspects included four Apple Macbook, two iphone Xmax, other iphones and HP laptop computers. Other items also included two Toyota Camry cars, four Toyota Corolla, one Mercedez Benz GL450 cars and several mobile phones.

The suspects, who have volunteered their statements, will be charged to court as soon investigations are concluded.
