A source from the zonal office of the EFCC in Sokoto said the suspects were arrested at Bafarawa Estate adding that Kalkalawa area of Sokoto State was also raided after intelligence-driven observations and intensive close monitoring proved that the young men were living above their means with no genuine source of income.

This, according to the source, led operatives of the commission to swoop in and arrest them while investigations continued.

Those arrested include Joy Ofem, Azeez Naimot, Ibrahim Amadu, Aigbekan Daniel, Adedayo Michael, Imran Mubaraq and Oliyide Habeeblah

Others were Wasiu Lukman Adekunle, Musa Abdulaziz, Abdullahi Ibrahim, Adejoh Nebiu Muhammad, Ibrahim Mubarak, Ahmed Ibrahim Abdullahi, Abdullahi Sanusi Adejoh and Umar Idris.
