Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Sunday announced the arrest of 93 internet fraudsters at the Green Legacy Hotel located within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Sources said that EFCC operatives carried out the raid in the early hours of Sunday during a pool party at the premises of the library.
This came barely five days after operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the commission arrested a suspected internet fraudster with two locally-made pistols in a raid at K-Hotel in Itori, Ewekoro area of the state.
Confirming the operation, EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said: “Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested 93 suspected internet fraudsters in Ogun State.
“They were arrested on Sunday, August 10, 2025 in a sting operation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, following credible intelligence about their suspected involvement in internet crimes.
“Upon their arrest, 18 vehicles and mobile devices were recovered from them. They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
An X user, A.Ayomide, in a post said: “Literally left my house past midnight to go to OOPL, got there and the crowd was too much. I don’t like the settings, my guy doesn’t like the settings, so we were just at the car park.
“Left around 1:30, 20 minutes later I get home and I’m getting calls that EFCC is raiding OOPL.”
The Managing Director of OOPL Ventures, Vitalis Ortese, confirmed the incident, saying: “Yes, they did. There was an incident this morning. We will find out and we will let you know.”
