The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has arrested 14 undergraduates of the Federal University of Technology, Akure(FUTA), Ondo State over alleged internet fraud.
Its Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, they were arrested alongside 19 others in the early hours of Wednesday, over suspected internet crimes.
“The suspects were arrested at different residential locations within Akure metropolis following intelligence on their alleged nefarious activities.
“Specifically, the sting operation that yielded their arrest was a response to strident calls to the EFCC by neighbours and parents around the locations, to save their children from being lured into internet-related activities by the suspects. READ ALSO:
