Suspected yahoo-boys arrested in Oshogbo nightclub
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibadan zonal office today, Monday, October 14, 2019, raided a nightclub in Oshogbo notorious for hosting parties for suspected internet fraudsters.
The raid led to the arrest of 94 suspects and confiscation of 19 exotic cars, laptops, scores of sophisticated mobile phones and other items.
Popularly known as ‘Club Secret Underground’, the nightclub is located on the Ibadan-Iwo Expressway of the Osun State capital.
EFCC Head, Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujjaren, said in a statement: “The wee-hour operation was sequel to an intelligence report hinting that the suspected internet fraudsters were organising a night party for Sunday, October 13 during which some of them intended to celebrate their loots.
“A discreet operation on the club had earlier been carried out to ascertain the authenticity of the intelligence.
“The confirmation led to the mega raid effected on Monday.”
Uwujaren disclosed that the suspects are currently undergoing further interrogation, adding that those indicted would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
