11 suspects have been arrested at their hideout by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Benin Zonal Office, in an early morning raid in Sapele, Delta State on Saturday.
The surprise raid in the wee hours of the day which was based on intelligence took the suspects by surprise and later led to a mild protest by their sympathizers several hours after the EFCC team had left the scene.
The suspects arrested are: Omomua Victor; Demi Johnson; Agufure Godstime; Agboroko Precious; Anthony Omonomo; Onskharoma Julius; Freeborn Efe; Akama Precious; Tagbajiemi Promise George Raphel and Stanley Agabiri.
A lap top, Mercedes-Benz car, desktop computer, mobiles phones, flash drives and internet modems were recovered at the point where the suspects were arrested.
The Commission stated that the suspects have made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as the investigations are completed
