The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, October 14, 2019, raided a Yahoo-boys’ party inside an Osogbo-based nightclub notorious for hosting parties for suspected internet fraudsters.
The Yahoo-boys’ party led to the arrest of 94 suspects and confiscation of 19 exotic cars, laptops, scores of sophisticated mobile phones and other items.
According to the statement released by the anti-graft commission on the Yahoo-boys’ party raid in Osun state, the commission stated that the popular club known as ‘Club Secret Underground’ is located on the Ibadan-Iwo Expressway of the Osun State capital.
“The wee-hour operation was a sequel to an intelligence report hinting that the suspected internet fraudsters were organising a Yahoo-boys party for Sunday, October 13, during which some of them intended to celebrate their loots.
A discreet operation on the club had earlier been carried out to ascertain the authenticity of the intelligence.
The confirmation, therefore, led to the mega raid affected this morning” the commission added.
The suspects are currently undergoing further interrogation and would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded
