EFCC Arrests 93 Suspected Internet Fraudsters in Abeokuta

Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested 93 suspected internet fraudsters in Ogun State.

They were arrested on Sunday, August 10, 2025 in a sting operation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, following credible intelligence about their suspected involvement in internet crimes.

Upon their arrest, 18 vehicles and mobile devices were recovered from them.

They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

*Invasion of OOPL premises by alleged EFCC agents

1. This morning, at about 2 am, the OOPL premises were invaded by a Gestapo-like gang of over 50 armed men, shooting guns, threatening to kill people, and purporting to be from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The invasion, led by one "Olapade" caused serious panic and chaos, leading to serious injuries among participants trying to escape the shooting and near carnage that resulted, and causing terror among residents on the site.

2. On inquiry by phone, the "Olapade" informed the Managing Director of the OOPL establishment, Mr. Vitals Ortese, that they were acting on an intelligence tip about a private event in the amusement facility of the complex. They also informed Management that the police have been duly informed of the operation.

3. it should be noted that the event was a private event that had been widely advertised to members of the public for days prior.

4. It should also be noted that both the police officers stationed at the OOPL gates and the additional police sent from the Kemta Police Station, as requested by the organisers of the event and Management, stated that they were NOT informed of any planned operation by the EFCC, and neither did they present any warrant. And when the armed men were accosted by OOPL security and assisting police officers, they simply retorted, "We are doing our job."

5. Management wishes to state that this action by the EFCC is a clear case of invasion of private property, infringement of OOPL rights as corporate citizens, and indeed a stark and blatant violation of the rights of the people who so gathered for the event.

6. Management has commenced its investigations of the invasion and will take up the matter with the highest authorities, including the EFCC, the Police, and the Department of State Security.

7. In the meantime, Management demands an explanation of these impudent actions from the Commission and an apology from the EFCC authorities for the infringement of its rights, to al those who gathered, and those who sustained serious injuries from the gangster-like induced chaos. Failure for which the Management will be compelled to seek redress and sanctions as appropriate.

Thank you

Management
