Operatives of the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have busted a cybercrime syndicate specialising in duping unsuspecting Nigerians and overseas’ residents of cash and other personal belongings through internet scam.

The Head, Media and Publicity of the anti-graft agency, Dele Ojewale, who disclosed this to Journalists in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital, explained that the suspected cyber fraudsters were apprehended at various hideouts in Uyo and Calabar.

According to Ojewale, the raids which were carried out on Thursday, June 19, 2025, led to the arrest of 13 suspects on two locations at Atimbo and Lemna Trailer Park areas of Calabar, Cross River State, and six others, who were earlier arrested along the Idoro axis of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

“They were all arrested in different sting operations following actionable intelligence linking them with alleged internet-related frauds,” he stated.
