The Ibadan zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, arrested a 33-year-old property owner, Stanley Ejike Awam, for allegedly harbouring suspected internet fraudsters.

Stanley and 10 other suspected ‘Yahoo Boys’ according to a statement signed by the Acting head, media and publicity, Tony Orilade, were picked up at different locations of the Ibadan metropolis following actionable intelligence on their alleged illegal activities.

Orilade said: “For men of the commission who carried out the arrest, it was a daunting task locating Stanley’s six-flat property tucked inside an isolated environment around Ologuneru area of the Oyo State capital.”

He revealed that nine suspects, including Stanley, were arrested at the premises in Ibadan.
