[IceLincoln]

Yesterday the 16th of December 2024, the EFCC spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren said in a conference that they raided a 7 storey building at Victoria Island Lagos state. Where they arrested 792 suspects which included foreigners: 114 Chinese Nationals, 40 Filipinos and 2 khazartans, one Pakistani and one Indonesian.




This is their largest single day operation against Investment and cryptocurrency scams.

The spokesperson for the EFCC said these foreigners were using the building to teach the Nigerians how to run investment scams and romance/relationships scam. (in essence na yahoo school)
These foreigners also created fake accounts and profiles for their Nigerian counterparts to engage in cryptocurrency scams in the country.


Over 500 Nigerian SIM cards and high end desktops and laptops were recovered from the Building.

This na VERY MASSIVE BUST FOR the EFCC.

Yahoo school is gradually becoming a thing now no be jus HK something.
I commend the EFCC for this crackdown, na why despite their shortcomings I still believe they’re trying and doing well. Na jus say every organisation get their bad eggs but kudos to them on this one.

Efcc has done well to discover such a place. It's so sad that foreigners will be so comfortable in our country deybdo something like this. Wey dem nor go fit do in their country and na Our country people they aid them
 O this country really Don spoil finish, is good they arrested them, they should face anti corruption law, thought Efcc will still take bribe and free some as usual.  But this is a big shame to our country, our public image is so disgusting. You see reason why people outside chat trust you once u mentioned Nigeria. The country is in a mess.

EFCC raiding the houses of internet fraudsters and busting their hideout is Very commendable, because these are the set of persons that scavenge the internet to find prey that they will wipe all their money from their bank account and crypto wallet, living people hopeless and frustrated. The EFCC did a wonderful job on that, but I would also want them to beam their search light too on those politicians that receive monthly allocations, to know if truly they are using the monies allocated to them judiciously as stipulated in the constitution, at least in doing that, the executive will be cautious of what they are doing.

All of una dey talk more about this matter as if we trust this our system, we know say small magic fit happen, wetin I mean be say the numbers EFCC bring fit no really be the numbers of people wey dey do scam business if nah 1000 people them catch for example, the main people wey deep hand for scam fit be 20 persons. Some people dey innocent and them no get idea if wetin the other people dey do, their own nah just to get where to sleep make them go hustle the next day. E happen for pH one time like that wey them carry both the guilty ones and the innocent ones to prison, na later them begin fish out the innocent ones by then these innocent ones don collect plenty slap and beating wey no be their own, from 70 something (I think) if not more, the numbers wey get hand for scam reduce immediately, so I no trust the numbers wey them drop. To me EFCC dey try at the same time them no dey try because na still them go collect to release these guys, na still them dey give these guys gadget to use hustle out moni to release themselves, corruption nai be the justice for this Nation.
