Nigeria’s anti-graft Agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has raided a nigh-club in Osun State, notorious for hosting parties for suspected internet fraudsters and arrested 94 suspects.
The Osogbo-based club was raided on Monday, the agency said in a statement and that it seized 19 cars, laptops, scores of sophisticated mobile phones and other items.
Popularly known as ‘Club Secret Underground’, the nightclub is located on the Ibadan-Iwo Expressway of the Osun State capital.
“The wee-hour operation was sequel to an intelligence report hinting that the suspected internet fraudsters were organising a night party for Sunday, October 13 during which some of them intended to celebrate their loots,” the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said in the statement.
Mr Uwujaren said “a discreet operation on the club had earlier been carried out to ascertain the authenticity of the intelligence.”
He said the suspects are currently undergoing further interrogation, and those indicted would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
