The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
operatives in Ibadan have been attacked by dogs unleashed on them by suspected
yahoo boys.
According to reports, officers of the commission had stormed
the suspects’ hideout at Agara area of Ibadan at the early hours of the day.
The officers were however faced with stiff resistance as one
of the suspected fraudsters was reported to have instructed the guard to
release their ferocious dogs to attack the operatives.
The trick, however, failed to work. It rather tasked the
detectives to display their dexterity and professionalism. They were able to
dislodge the dangerous dog, carry out extensive search on the apartment and
effect arrest of the suspects, The Nation reports.
Again, out of desperation to conceal useful information that
could help the commission in their investigation, one of the suspects smashed
his android phone with the intention to destroy the gadget and deny access to
the data therein.
The attempt equally failed as the operatives took possession
of the broken phone and deposited it with the forensic unit for proper analysis
of the recovered data.
Suspects arrested in the operation are Paul Afolabi, Balogun
Ibrahim Adebayo, Izu Ibobo Chukwunalu, Abe Tolulope, Onifade Gidion Idowu,
Komolafe Tosin and Igwe Kinsley Otuu.
