ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Delta State youths in their multitudes on Tuesday protested the arrest and detention of some young people by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in Delta State.
It was gathered that officials of the anti-graft agency had stormed Warri last week and reportedly arrested no fewer than 95 suspected internet fraudsters.
The suspects were reportedly arrested at Adesa Ughonton and Jedda areas of Warri for suspected fraudulent internet-related activities, during a sting operation carried out by personnel of the Port Harcourt Zonal Command of the anti-graft agency on Thursday, 29 September, 2022.
However, as early as eight o’clock in the morning on Tuesday, the placard-carrying protesters had besieged Effurun roundabout in the city Centre, calling for the scrapping of the EFCC.
The protesting youths alleged that officials of the agency had virtually turned themselves into a vendetta mafia, The Punch reports.
