Abuja businessman arrested again over N500m fraud by EFCC

Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has ordered all anti-graft commission commands to cease sting operations at night.

According to the Commission’s spokeswoman, Dele Oyewale, the chairman issued the order in Abuja in response to the agency’s Ibadan Zonal agents apprehending 69 alleged online scammers at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State.

He added that while the profiling of suspects who have not yet been freed would be finished, many of the detainees who were properly profiled by the command have been released.

 “The commission wishes to assure the public that it will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate,” Oyewale said.
