Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have commenced investigations into 30 suspected internet fraudsters arrested at a so-called “Yahoo school” identified as Hustle Kingdom (HK) in Benin City.
The suspects were apprehended by personnel of the 4 Brigade, Nigerian Army, and handed over to the EFCC on Monday, April 28, 2025, for further investigation.
The facility, masquerading as a computer training center, was reportedly equipped with desktop computers, workstations, and various computer accessories. Authorities also discovered a compartment containing fetish items believed to be used for ritual purposes.
Items recovered during the raid include a Toyota Corolla vehicle, several mobile phones, laptops, and MP3 devices.
According to the EFCC, the suspects will face prosecution upon the conclusion of investigations.
