BREAKING: EFCC operatives storm Ondo lounges, arrest groom-to-be, others
In the early hours of Saturday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conducted a raid on several lounges and event venues located in the Alagbaka area of Akure, the capital city of Ondo State.
During the operation, more than 50 individuals, suspected to be involved in internet fraud, were apprehended by EFCC operatives.
Notably, among those detained was a soon-to-be groom who was celebrating his Bachelor’s eve with friends at one of the targeted clubs.
The raid, which occurred around 1 am, involved EFCC personnel arriving in various vehicles and reportedly included instances of gunfire. Furthermore, authorities seized numerous vehicles, laptops, high-end smartphones, and other items during the operation.
A source said, “They were entering the nightclubs and lounges, tear-gassing people, beating them up and arresting them. They don’t care who are, even two soldiers were injured as they shot tear gas canisters inside one of the clubs.
“They also went away with a groom and his friends at a club, he was there for his bash eve, so sad as they profiled everyone as Internet fraudster.”
