Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have raided an illicit internet fraud training facility, known as a "Yahoo School", in the Iju area of the state.

The operation led to the arrest of four main operators of the facility.

A statement issued revealed the identities of the suspects as Chibuike Ihejika, Stanley Ihejika, Obiora Oyediba, and Emmanuel Oyedibe.

The police said the suspects were arrested alongside six trainees, including a 12-year-old boy, Minachi Udochukwu.

The other six suspects are their criminal trainees, all of whom were undergoing training in cybercrime and fraud: Okorie Henry, Otoh Chisom, 20; Okeke Kwufrochikwu, 26; Uchenna Obeji, 26; Minachi Udochukwu, 12; and Chinedu Ukachukwu, 23.

The police said the operators recruited their trainees from Anambra State and engaged them in internet fraud, confiscating the proceeds from their illicit activities.
