Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) Lagos zone have arrested 21 suspects for allegedly being involved in internet-related fraud, otherwise called ‘Yahoo Yahoo Boys’.
The suspects are also said to be members of an organized cybercrime syndicate.
They were all arrested on Wednesday in an operation at Roxbury Leisure Homes Phase 2, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ikota, Lagos.

The suspects are: Shittu Yakubu, Akinsola Afeez, Adeniyi Joseph, Opeyemi Wahab, Idris Sunday, Lawal Moshood, Jubril Yusuf, Olusegun Mohammed, Adekunle Adesanya, and Damilola Abijide.
