In a targeted operation against cybercrime, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Sokoto State Command, has apprehended 23 individuals suspected of participating in online fraudulent activities, commonly known as ‘Yahoo boys’. The operation, driven by meticulous surveillance and intelligence, unfolded in the Bafarawa Estate within Sokoto metropolis.

The suspects’ opulent lifestyles, inconsistent with legitimate income sources, triggered the EFCC’s intervention. The agency’s focus on “intelligence-driven observations along with intensive close monitoring” emphasizes its commitment to curbing the scourge of internet-related scams.
