Ola Olukoyede, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has issued a directive to cease nighttime sting operations across all the commission’s commands.
This directive was delivered in Abuja on a Wednesday, prompted by the recent arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters in Ile-Ife, Osun State, by the EFCC’s Ibadan zonal command
The development was made public by the anti-graft agency’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, in an official statement.
Oyewale said, “The chairman gave the directive in Abuja on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters in Ile-Ife, Osun State, by operatives of the Ibadan zonal command of the commission.
“Already, many of the suspects duly profiled by the command have been released, while profiling of suspects yet unreleased will be completed, without further delay.
“The commission wishes to assure the public that it will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate.”
