EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a statement, on Friday, in Abuja.
Oyewale said that the arrest of the suspects at their hideout on Thursday in Benin City, was triggered by credible intelligence.
According to him, the apartment is being used as a ‘yahoo’ academy or training school for internet-related fraud and other fraudulent activities.

”The suspects will be charged to court, as soon as investigations are concluded,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng
