Operating from a business complex in the capital’s Gudu district, the suspects allegedly ran a sophisticated hotel review scam targeting hospitality businesses in Europe and other global locations. EFCC operatives seized 100 computer workstations during the operation at Naka Hall Plaza on Abutu Garba Street.
The suspects include 67 males and 38 females, according to the anti-graft agency on their social media platform X. Intelligence reports about emerging internet crimes involving foreign nationals led to the raid.
While specific details of the hotel review scam remain under investigation, the EFCC said the suspects will face court proceedings after investigations are concluded.
This arrest comes as part of the agency’s intensified efforts to combat internet fraud and corruption in Nigeria, particularly schemes involving international targets.
