In line with its newly-reviewed procedures on arrest and bail of suspects by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has directed that sting operations at night time be stopped in all the commands of the EFCC.

Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale in a statement on Thursday disclosed that the EFCC boss gave the directive in Abuja on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters by operatives of the Ibadan Zonal office of the Commission in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

According to him, already, 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.

He further assured the public that the Commission will not relent in its adherence to the rule of law, in the exercise of its mandate.
