EFCC’s Ongoing Fight Against Internet Fraud in Nigeria
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested 33 suspected internet fraudsters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, in a recent crackdown on cybercrime. The arrest was carried out by EFCC operatives, who recovered various incriminating items, including fake US dollars and other materials typically associated with internet fraud.
The operation was part of the EFCC’s ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes, especially internet fraud, which has been on the rise in Nigeria. The suspects are believed to be involved in fraudulent schemes that target individuals and organizations through online platforms.
The arrested individuals are expected to face charges related to cybercrime and financial fraud, and further investigations will likely lead to their prosecution. The EFCC continues to warn the public about the dangers of internet fraud and encourages collaboration in reporting suspicious activities.
This is part of a broader strategy by the EFCC to clamp down on online fraud, which has become a growing concern in Nigeria and beyond.
