The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in collaboration with the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI have raided the bases of different internet fraudster at various locations across Nigeria.

The arrest of the suspects mostly in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, resulted in the hauling of no fewer than 25 digital devices used in the nefarious activity, Vanguard reports.

Among the tools of operations used by the criminally-minded elements, which were retrieved by the anti-graft agencies included mobile phones and computers.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the raids, said, they were carried out between May 23 and June 7, 2018.

Wilson said:

“The joint operation was carried out as part of an exercise code named ‘Operation Wire Wire’ following months of surveillance to identify the suspects and their locations.

“The suspects, who are all linked to business email compromise, have made useful statements while documents recovered from them are being analysed.

Business email compromise is a sophisticated scam scheme which targets businesses involved with funds transfer as means of payment.

The perpetrators routinely compromise communication between the parties and change the bank details of the receiver of funds and send emails to the party expected to do the transfer, purporting to be the genuine receiver with the changed account details.

Hmmm.. this table that FBI is shaking, there are lots of Yahoo boys on it oo.



America have the highest number of cyber fraudsters and yet they keep running after Nigerians as if we didn't actually learn it from them... so FBI leave America come dey hunt guys for naija abi? They should go to Russia and Italy to arrest those guys to who indulge in cyber crimes from there na.

I’m strongly against yahoo yahoo but why is the FBI from United States arresting Nigerians in Nigeria? I can understand if they provide material support for us but using their man power to arrest our citizens just show how much of a puppet our leaders are.

Why don’t they go to China, Russia, North Korea and etc to arrest the hackers that attack them and their government That’s because their respective government are not weak and will not let their citizens be oppressed by foreign institutions. This is so annoying.

FAKE NEWS..

Our society is a mess

Even the so called musician are using it to hail guys

Very good. Those useless yahoo boys always living large and thinking they own the world. May they rot in jail.

Why will they allow FBI to be carrying out operations in Nigeria?
I hate nonsense.
By the way yahoo yahoo is not a threat to Nigeria. They should concentrate on other areas like the corruption in the police and other security agencies.

Waiting for Nwamaikpe's comment.



Lemme book space for him

Crime doesn't pay, but the hottest part of hell awaits bloggers

Lol. Can USA go to Russia or India and start arresting their citizens?
Anyway 5 million more to go.

FBI for Naija boys, e don red ooo

Especially nice

end time marras

Dis is what we should call joint task force. Not like:..........

Every educated person knows that FBI does not leave the shores of USA. They have the CIA for international raids and sorts or use the interpol.

EFFC should just hide their face in shame and stop looking for cheap points. You were raiding clubs and universities, and not using technology to track down the culprits. Pure Guess work!!! Arrest anybody that's looking flashy just because "Everybody be criminal" for 9ja.

FP things.... I think it is a welcome development

Nigeria don get their own FBI?? cos I'm utterly and painstakingly confused

Boys don cast..

Once FBI don enter your case, just kiss you behind goodbye

Zoogeria
What constitutes a sovreign state?
How different are we from a Banana Republic.
The right thing to do would have been for the efcc to prosecute the crimanals based on our justice system.

Who gives the fu..cking fbi jusrisdicton in here.

Nonsense.

Modified.

Seems like EFCC had brain farts which is not surprising
FBI in Nigeria

Fake news! Do you know how much resources FBI will put together to be able to do that? Stupid bloggers.

Operation wire wire

I prayed for a day like this. Thank you God.

Is it only the dull ones who get caught or EFCC is getting smarter? Most of the G boys I know always say they will never lose guard and fall into their net. Let me know now so I can warn them beforehand. I don't have money to pay for anybody's bail.

Please raid more places, owerri is another place

Beautiful!

Yahoo boys being arrested think they're carrying them to the US?

They're carrying them to Yola prisons. No network there to even flash fone and you can't escape.
