The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken 120 individuals into custody in Lagos State over suspected involvement in internet fraud.
In an update shared via its official social media platform, the commission revealed that the operation led to the arrest of 95 men and 25 women.
The suspects were apprehended on Monday, May 19, 2025, by operatives from the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Directorate 1. The arrests followed credible intelligence and careful surveillance that linked the individuals to alleged cybercrime activities.
Items reportedly recovered during the operation include 26 luxury vehicles, high-end jewellery, several laptops, smartphones, and documents suspected to be used in committing fraud.
The EFCC stated that legal proceedings will commence against the suspects once the investigation is finalized.
