They were arrested in a sting operation conducted simultaneously in a Lagos suburb, Ajegunle and in Benin City, 300 km to the East of the commercial capital.
One of the scammers, Hendrix Omorume has been charged and convicted and now faces a 12-month prison sentence.
The three men, aged between 31 and 38, were each arrested in possession of fake documents, including fraudulent invoices and forged official letters.
The investigation was conducted in conjunction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The operation is part of a global operation codenamed “Killer Bee” involving INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs) and law enforcement in 11 countries across Southeast Asia.
According to INTERPOL’s Director of Cybercrime, Craig Jones, the organisation had “to alert Nigeria to a serious security threat where millions could have been lost without swift police action.”
The laptops and mobile phones seized by EFCC during the arrests, were examined by the INTERPOL to help confirm the systematic use of “Agent Tesla” malware to access business computers and divert monetary transactions to their own accounts.

ReplyDeleteI love your sarcasm. They blame PMB for their life woes and when they jakpa to a better country to start a new life, their criminal nature comes out in full force. Europeans, Americans, other African countries don't hate Nigeria or Buhari, it is Nigerian citizens they hate. See as them go line under my comment to justify the evil they do in India, Bangladesh of all places, Cambodia, Malaysia, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa. Talk to people from those countries and your hears will be full. They even ask us which tribe in naija are you from. Truth is bitter.As for those owanbe people representing in UK and US una with them are same thing. Always giving us a bad name. Nigeria didn't make our green passport a curse our criminal actions all over the world is responsible kapish
