Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that EFCC have arrested 100 Unilorin yahoo boys at their hostel at Unigate.
According to NAN, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC’s spokesman, broke the news in a statement on Monday.
Uwujaren said the suspects were arrested following an intelligence report on their alleged involvement in internet-related fraud.
“Part of the intelligence indicated that suspected internet fraudsters were operating in campuses around Ilorin to swindle unsuspecting victims of their hard-earned income,” he said.
“The suspects are currently being screened to establish their culpability and will be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the source hinted.
The spokesman said based on intelligence reports and weeks of surveillance, EFCC operatives searched some hostels in the university on September 19 and made a number of arrests.
He added that during interrogation, those found not culpable were released to the Students Union Government (SUG) of the institution, while others were taken to the zonal command headquarters for interrogation.
Uwujaren said that some of the items recovered from the suspects were six exotic cars, several laptops, mobile phones and incriminating documents.
The suspects, mostly students, were arrested at different locations within Ilorin following actionable intelligence earlier received on their criminal activities, an EFCC source said.
