The Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
(EFCC) Ibadan zonal office, on Wednesday, busted a Lagos hotel
believed to be a hideout for internet fraudsters.
The target was one Rasaq Balogun, a suspected internet fraud
kingpin, whose illicit activities dominated intelligence gathered
from the recently arrested ‘police spies’ during a raid on their
Abeokuta base.
According to findings, Balogun harbours an army of young men
recruited to carry out financial frauds through the use of the
internet.
Some others were also arrested at his Beckley Estate residence,
also in Lagos State.
The raid on his hotel, Modzak Hotel, at Abule-Egba, Lagos State,
sufficiently gave credence to the suspicion as a retinue of young
men were caught harboured in his hotel with no specific
mission.
The suspected kingpin and 26 other young men ranging between the
ages of 18 and 35 years were arrested at the scene.
Other suspects were also arrested at his Beckley Estate
residence, Lagos from where they were all moved to the Commission’s
Ibadan zonal office for further interrogation.
Officer of the anti-graft agency also recovered three vehicles,
fetish item, laptops, mobile phones and documents suspected to
contain fraudulent data from the suspect.
The commission however said those indicted in the crime will be
charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
