EFCC raided several lounges and event centres in the Alagbaka area of Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday morning, 8th June, 2024.

They proceeded to confiscate numerous vehicles, laptops, high-end phones, and other items.

Describing the raid, a witness stated, “They were entering the nightclubs and lounges, tear-gassing people, beating them up, and arresting them.

They also went away with a groom and his friends at a club; he was there for his bash eve, so sad as they profiled everyone as Internet fraudsters.”
