Omodeinde revealed that the suspects were apprehended around AIT Road, Alagbado, Lagos, based on credible intelligence received on their alleged involvement in computer-related fraud such as romance scam, business email compromise, benefit scam, credit card fraud and money laundering.

“Upon their arrest, items recovered from them include a car, high-end mobile phones worth millions of naira, and fetish materials such as casket, calabash of black soap, cow horn and charms.

“Further investigations have also established a nexus with other associates who are suspected of being involved in computer-related fraud.

“The suspects will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is completed,” he stated.

The CP also admonished youths to embrace hard work, shun all manners of crime, and make integrity and dedication to work their watchword, noting that ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ is not a sustainable way of life.
