According to the statement, the suspects were apprehended in Sabon Kaura and Gwalameji areas of the state capital on Friday, July 25, 2025.
“The arrests were made following actionable intelligence which linked the suspects to a syndicate engaging in various forms of internet-related fraud,” the EFCC said.
