Operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested eight suspected internet fraudsters, better known as Yahoo boys, at the Elebu-Oja area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
The suspects include: Ojo Ayobami, Dayo Adedokun, Ojo Ayotunde, Ibidapo Ileriayo, Ibidapo Kolade, Adeniyi Gbenga, Aluko Idowu and Adeusi Olatunji.
The agency, in a statement on Saturday, said they were rounded up on February 8, 2019 following action on a series of intelligence reports.
“They are alleged to be involved in fraudulent activities ranging from love scam and other forms of internet fraud, through which they obtain money from unsuspecting victims.

“They will soon be charged to court,” the statement said.
