The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested 14 undergraduates of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, over suspected internet fraud.
The agency spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, who confirmed this in a statement in Abuja, noted that they were arrested alongside 19 others in the early hours of Wednesday, over suspected internet crimes.
“The suspects were arrested at different residential locations within Akure metropolis following intelligence on their alleged nefarious activities.
“Specifically, the sting operation that yielded their arrest was a response to strident calls to the EFCC by neighbours and parents around the locations, to save their children from being lured into internet-related activities by the suspects.
