FUTA which is known to be a very tedious school has of recent being a host to Internet fraudsters, every youngster wants to venture into online scamming (Yahoo Yahoo) because it pays big, you see them riding in push cars, spending lavishly in clubs, living in expensive houses, wearing exotic and vintage clothes, they also pay off corrupt law enforcement agencies such as the police, which gives them the assurance that they are untouchable.

Information gathered because the arrest has been the talk of the town was that the arrested students were able to swindle unsuspecting foreigners to the tune of 16million naira from which they purchased a 2010 toyota camry(muscle) and a 2006 toyota highlander for themselves, they spent lavishly in clubs, bought anything they wanted and they even showed off their spendings and lifestyles on Instagram, They call themselves the Tsunami Gang!!.

It is a good news to know that some select law enforcement agencies in Nigeria are active and are not corrupt. Am sure with this arrest, the numbers of internet fraudsters will drastically reduce.
