In a bold move, military authorities at the 3 Battalion Nigerian Army barracks in Effurun, Delta State, have apprehended 150 youths suspected of internet fraud and handed them over to the police. The suspects were arrested at the Army Estate in Effurun, Uvwie, alongside the alleged owner of the “training school” and accomplices.
The arrests followed months of intelligence gathering on the activities of the suspects, who were using the high-end residential estate as a cover for their illicit activities. The suspects were allegedly training at HK “Hustle Kingdom” School, a cybercriminal training network.
