The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has arrested two identical twins, Takwan Potential and Takwan Peter, and 26 others for alleged internet fraud in Uyo Zonal Command, Cross River state.
The antigraft agency revealed this in a post
on its Twitter page on Thursday, June 8. The suspects were arrested on Tuesday,
June 6, 2023, following a credible intelligence linking them with suspected
internet-related fraud.
The other 26 suspects include Takwan
Emmanuel, Kelvin Onedu, Evans Edwin, David Osuji, Osang Tony, Confidence
Oblech, Uche Chinedu, Gabriel Kanong, Ojong Victor, Ephraim Ikechukwu and
Shedrack Mfon. Others are Godswill Omini, Walter Opha, Godswill Iti, Moses Sha,
Prince Uba, Anyi Bassey, David Disi, Peter Silas, Christian Uche, Chidindu
Oforji, Kelvin Anyanwu, Anthony Ojone, Samuel Disi, Gideon Joseph and Ezekiel
Francis.
Preliminary investigations showed that some
of the suspects specialized in love scams, and others engaged in fraudulent
impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.
Items recovered from them include several
mobile phones, laptops, five cars and a wifi device. Suspects will soon be
charged in court.
