EFCC Arrests 47 Suspected Internet Fraudsters in Benin City Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 arrested 47 suspected internet fraudsters at different locations in Benin City, Edo State. The suspects were arrested following credible intelligence that linked them to fraudulent internet activities. Items recovered from them at the point of arrest included five exotic cars, smartphones and laptop computers. They would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded. Why is the EFCC prioritizing the arrest of suspected internet fraudsters over corrupt politicians in Nigeria, who are often responsible for more severe financial crimes?
