The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC operatives in Ibadan have been attacked by dogs unleashed on them by suspected yahoo boys.Officers of the commission were said to have stormed the suspects’ hideout at Agara area of Ibadan at the early hours of the day.
They were, however, faced with stiff resistance as one of the suspected fraudsters was reported to have instructed the guard to release their ferocious dogs to attack the operatives.
The trick, however, failed as It instead tasked the detectives to display their dexterity and professionalism.
They were able to dislodge the dangerous dogs, carry out extensive search on the apartment and effect arrest of the suspects.
Out of desperation to conceal useful information that could help the commission in their investigation, one of the suspects smashed his android phone with the intention to destroy the gadget and deny access to the data therein.
The attempt also failed as the operatives took possession of the broken phone and deposited it with the forensic unit for proper analysis of the recovered data.
Suspects arrested in the operation are Paul Afolabi, Balogun Ibrahim Adebayo, Izu Ibobo Chukwunalu, Abe Tolulope, Onifade Gideon Idowu, Komolafe Tosin and Igwe Kinsley Otuu.
