The operatives of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested two siblings, Ahmed Ismail and Toheeb Ismail, and 14 others over an alleged case of cybercrime and possession of fraudulent funds in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
The EFCC Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this via a statement issued and made available to The Conclave on Friday.
Uwujaren stated that the suspects were arrested on Thursday following credible intelligence worked upon by the anti-graft agency.
The 14 other suspects arrested were Suleiman Abduqudrib Salati, Nurudeen Ibrahim, Boluwasefe Oyinloye, Bashir Azeez, Abduquodri Ibrahim, Raji Roqeeb, Tobiloba Raihan, and Busari Mohammed.

Items recovered from the suspected internet fraudsters included eight exotic cars, phones, and laptops.
The EFCC spokesperson, however, stated that the two siblings and 14 others would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
