According to the spokesperson of the agency, Dele Oyewale, the alleged fraudsters staged a party tagged “Yahoo Party.”

Oyedele stated that claim that some soldiers were injured during the operation was false.

He disclosed that those arrested were in the agency’s custody in Ibadan and undergoing profiling.

He said: “The alleged internet fraudsters were arrested in an early morning sting operation at a “Yahoo Party” held simultaneously at Signature and Abah Clubs on Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Akure, Ondo State.

“They were supposed to hold the party on Wednesday, and when they found out that we knew about it, they moved it to Saturday.

“The arrest was a result of diligent operation, and we had followed them carefully before we eventually went for the arrest. They will be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
