Operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested 48 students of the Kwara State University, KWASU, and two others for offences bordering on internet fraud.
The anti-graft agency in a statement said the suspects were arrested on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 in their various hideouts after days of surveillance and fruitful intelligence on their suspected involvement in internet-related offences.
Recall that three students were reportedly killed during a clash between security operatives and the students who were protesting the midnight raid by EFCC on Thursday, February 22.
“Items recovered from the suspects include nine exotic cars, twenty-four (24) laptops and different brands of phones.
The suspects will soon be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations,” the statement reads.
