EFCC bans sting operations at Night

The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, has directed that sting operations at night time be stopped in all the Commands of the EFCC.

A statement released by the commission on Wednesday, November 1, said Olukoyede gave the directive in Abuja in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters by operatives of the Ibadan Zonal of the Commission in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

According to the statement, many of the suspects duly profiled by the Command have been released, while profiling of suspects yet un-released will be completed, without further delay.

The Commission wishes to assure the public that it will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate.
