The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has arrested six suspected Internet fraudsters in Bauchi State.

The accused were identified as Okeychuku Ani, Rousham Danjuma, Iloabuchi Sideofor, Emmanuel Adibeh, Onyedikachi Iwanze, and Elijah Simon by the EFCC in a statement issued on Wednesday.

They were reported to have been apprehended last Saturday by EFCC Gombe Zonal Command agents in their hiding at Old Government Reservation Area, GRA, Bauchi, Bauchi State.

The anti-graft agency said the arrests were based on actionable intelligence on the suspected involvement of the men in Internet-related offences.

“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the statement noted.
