Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan zonal office, on Monday, October 14, 2019, raided a Osogbo-based nightclub allegedly notorious for hosting parties for suspected internet fraudsters.
The Head, Media & Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujjaren, disclosed this in a statement.
He said that the raid led to the arrest of 94 suspects and confiscation of 19 exotic 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.
Uwujjaren further disclosed that 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.
A discreet operation on the club had earlier been carried out to ascertain the authenticity of the intelligence, he said.
According to him, the confirmation led to the mega raid effected on Monday.
The suspects are currently undergoing further interrogation, and those indicted would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
