The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended four Chinese nationals alongside 101 others in connection to an internet fraud scheme in Abuja. According to EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, these individuals were involved in a scam targeting European hotels via falsified review jobs. The arrests occurred at a business apartment situated in the Gudu area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This operation reaffirms EFCC’s ongoing mission to combat internet fraud and corruption in Nigeria. Earlier in November, similar actions by the Nigeria Police led to the arrest of 113 individuals, including several Chinese nationals and Malaysians, in Jabi, Abuja. These recurrent cybercrime activities highlight a persistent challenge in maintaining cybersecurity within the capital.
