In a significant move against cybercrime, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested 19 individuals suspected of defrauding unsuspecting victims through gift cards, cryptocurrencies, and international money transfers while impersonating other people. The operation, which was conducted at Applewood Estate, Orchid Road, Lekki, Lagos State, targeted individuals who have been accused of such activities for quite some time. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the EFCC did not disclose when the facility began operating, but the arrests were the culmination of a thorough investigation. The EFCC has been proactive in recent months, making several high-profile arrests in an effort to curb cybercrime in Nigeria. This latest operation is part of the commission’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and security of Nigerians both online and offline.
