The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of two suspected internet fraudsters at House F10, Victoria Crest 4, Lekki, Lagos.
In a statement issued by the anti-graft agency and posted on its verified X handle (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, it disclosed that the suspects; Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) were arrested at the residence of a popular artiste, John Njeng Njeng, a.k.a Skales.
The two suspects, suspected of being involved in dating scam, described Njeng as their mentor. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njengs residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for few months.
They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded, EFCC stated.
Skales had earlier raised the alarm that EFCC operatives invaded his house and broke down his door in the early hours of Tuesday.
