Military personnel from 3 Battalion Nigerian Army Barracks at the popular Army Estate, Effurun in Uvwie, Delta State have arrested no fewer than 100 youths suspected to be internet fraudsters as the operatives stormed one HK “Hustle Kingdom” school.
The facility is said to be a cybercriminal training network school in the metropolis, where intending internet fraudsters are reportedly trained.
Army Estate is a highbrow residential Post Service Housing Estate for retired military officers and civilians in Uvwie, Delta State.
PUNCH Online gathered that the suspects were rounded up following intelligence reports on the discovery of an HK (Yahoo training) School within the premises of the Army Estate.
Sources said that after months of intelligence gathering on the activities of the suspects, the armed military personnel stormed the school and “arrested over 100 of them in the early hours and late Saturday.”
Also, the alleged owner of the HK school and his accomplices were arrested by the soldiers during the raid, it was further gathered.
“The soldiers acted on intelligence reports”, one of the sources affirmed.
Meanwhile, the military authorities at the 3 Battalion Nigerian Army Barracks, Effurun have reportedly handed over the suspects to the police at Ekpan in Uvwie for prosecution after proper profiling.
When contacted over the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed arrest of the suspects, but could not give details of how the suspects were apprehended.
