Ekohotblog earlier reported that the Ibadan zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC arrested 89 suspected internet fraudsters at the popular Club 360 located on the Akala Expressway, Oluyole Extension in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
It’s was gathered that In preparation for the late night operation which took place over the weekend, officers of the Commission had carried out series of discreet surveillance on the nature of activities going on in the nightclub which according to intelligence gathered, the said club was notorious for harbouring “yahoo-yahoo boys.”
However, Nigerians via twitter a (micro mini blog) are not happy about the incident as they are currently berating the commission’s action, complaining that innocent club goers might have been arrested along the real fraudsters.
Ekohotblog captured some tweets below:
Less than 6 months ago, the FBI arrested 80 Diaspora Yahoo Yahoo Boys. They already had evidence to nail every single one of them before making any arrest. EFCC can do better. You just can't go around raiding club houses and arresting every single person in sight. It is wrong!

My dear EFCC,
Leave Yahoo Boys for a while & go after thieving politicians. They're the greater evil. One under your investigation just got appointed governor by Supreme Court. The other that parked Bullion Van on election Eve in his house is yet to write statement. DO BETTER!!! https://t.co/8qrSBAGSaF— Olaudah Equiano® (@RealOlaudah) January 20, 2020

You could be in a bar tomorrow drinking and screaming at Lacazette for missing a tap in and EFCC will rush in a grab you.
