The police in Benue State have arrested five boys over their alleged involvement in internet fraud.

Spokeswoman of the state police command, SP Catherine Anene, at the weekend, said the arrest was part of continuous efforts to sanitise the state against activities of cyber criminals.

Anene said that the Cybercrime and Narcotics Department of the command effected the arrest of the suspects in connection with a case of impersonation and obtaining under false pretence.
