The arrest of the suspects was not an easy task as most of them hid in some of the most ridiculous places in the house where they were arrested. Some of the suspects hid inside chairs and other locations but they were discovered and removed. Aged between 15 and 39 years, the suspects were arrested at Liberty Estate, Laderin area of Abeokuta, Ogun during an early morning sting operation carried out by men of the commission. Due to the timing, the suspects were taken by surprise when the EFCC operatives swept their location in the ancient Nigerian city. The commission’s acting spokesman, Mr. Tony Orilade, announced in a press statement in Abuja on Thursday. > He said that "the suspects were arrested at Liberty Estate, Laderin area of Abeokuta, Ogun during a sting operation." > According to him "the suspects who ranged between the ages of 15 and 39 years, were taken by surprise when EFCC operatives swooped on them at one of their havens in the estate." > “Fourteen of them claimed to be university undergraduates, while 18 others said they are self-employed - typical of scammers." Their arrest was a sequel to a petition detailing their alleged fraudulent activities, including internet fraud through which they obtain illicit funds from unsuspecting victims worldwide. Items recovered from them include six exotic cars, laptops, mobile phones, several documents containing false pretenses and fetish/ritual objects. > “The suspects are already helping operatives of the Commission with useful information." Mr. Orilade said. “They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” Nigerian EFCC Team **SCARS™ Team** **A SCARS Division** **Miami Florida U.S.A.** **TAGS:** Scam News, News About Scams, News About Scammers, Global Scamming News, Internet Fraudster, Yahoo Yahoo Boys, Scammers Arrested, Internet Fraudsters, Nigerian Scammers, Nigeria, EFCC, --- END --- # MORE INFORMATION --- - - - ## Tell us about your experiences with Romance Scammers in our [Scams Discussion Forum on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/SCARS.Avoidance.Information.Public.Group/) » --- - - - ## FAQ: How Do You Properly Report Scammers?
