The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended 105 individuals, including four Chinese nationals, at a business apartment in the Gudu area of Abuja.
Dele Oyewale, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, confirmed the arrests in a statement on Friday, noting that the operation is part of the Commission’s ongoing efforts to combat internet fraud and corruption.
“Operatives of the EFCC have arrested four Chinese nationals and 101 Nigerians at a business apartment in the Gudu axis of Abuja,” the statement read.
The suspects, comprising 67 males—including the Chinese nationals—and 38 females, were apprehended on Thursday, January 9.
Preliminary findings suggest the group is linked to a sophisticated hotel review scam targeting victims and establishments in Europe and other parts of the world.
The EFCC stated that investigations are underway and that the suspects will face prosecution once inquiries are concluded.
