Obvious inter-agency rivalry between the police and the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission played out in the early hours of Tuesday during a sting operation by the anti-graft agency to arrest some suspected Internet fraudsters in Osogbo, Osun state.
PUNCH Metro learnt that some EFCC operatives from the agency’s Ibadan zonal office stormed the Halleluyah area of Osogbo and broke into some buildings, where over 30 suspected Internet fraudsters were arrested.
The team, which also recovered several vehicles from the suspects, was said to be heading out of Osogbo, when some police personnel said to be responding to distress calls from residents, intercepted it and prevented it from moving away with the vehicles.
