Some operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC have nabbed one Owoseni Gabriel, who posed as a woman to evade arrest.
Gabriel was arrested alongside 32 others on May 2, 2023 at the Iyana Ipaja axis of Lagos for their alleged involvement in computer-related fraud.
The anti-graft agency noted that their arrest came following credible intelligence received by the Commission on the activities of some young boys involved in computer-related fraud.
According to EFCC, during the sting operation, Gabriel, particularly, wore a female dress and a wig to evade arrest.
“The suspects will be charged to court after investigations have been concluded.
“Items recovered from the suspects include a Toyota Camry 2005 model, a Toyota Camry 2009 model, mobile phones and laptop computers,” the commission said.
The Commission also listed the remaining 31 suspects who were arrested alongside Gabriel as: Salaudeen Hammed, Akinsanya Olamilekan, Olamofe Joshua, Akindele Saheed, Damilare Micheal, Patoki Ayomiku, Olakunle Ismail, Babalola Ayomide, Afolabi Olaibola, Abiodun Olayinka, Samuel Ogunyemi, Adebayo Olarewaju, Abdul-Fatai Olawale and Hassan Ayofe.
