Following a denial of its reported invasion of the Conference Hotel owned by former Ogun State governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, operatives of the Lagos Command of the EFCC have said they arrested 60 suspected internet fraudsters during an awards ceremony holding inside the hotel in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
EFCC had earlier denied reports that it invaded the hotel.
The event tagged ‘Peer Youths Awards’, according to a statement by the Commission, “was organized to reward high-level internet fraudsters”.
Items it said it recovered from the suspects at the point of arrest include exotic cars, electronic devices, laptop computers and mobile phones.
The Commission stated the suspects would soon be charged to court.
