The operation, conducted by the EFCC’s Gombe Zonal Directorate on Saturday, followed “credible intelligence” regarding the suspects’ alleged involvement in cybercrime.
The suspects were apprehended at locations in Kaure New Government Reservation Area and Awala, Maiduguri Road, Bauchi, according to an EFCC statement released on Monday.
During the raid, authorities recovered “luxury items,” including a BMW car, a Toyota Camry, PlayStation 5 consoles, mobile phones, laptops, and Point of Sale (POS) machines.
The EFCC stated that the suspects will be charged in court after investigations are concluded.
