Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Chair, Ola Olukoyede, has mandated the cessation of nighttime sting operations across all EFCC commands, responding to the arrest of 69 alleged internet fraudsters in Ile-Ife, Osun State, conducted by Ibadan zonal command operatives.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale communicated this decision in a statement obtained by media sources in Abuja on Wednesday.
Oyewale said, “The chairman gave the directive in Abuja on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters in Ile-Ife, Osun State, by operatives of the Ibadan zonal command of the commission.
“Already, many of the suspects duly profiled by the command have been released, while profiling of suspects yet unreleased will be completed, without further delay.
“The commission wishes to assure the public that it will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate.”
