Credible intelligence showed that the alleged “Yahoo party” was initially scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2024, but was later moved to Saturday to defeat EFCC security and intelligence networks.
The suspects have provided useful information to directorate investigators, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said in a statement emailed to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday.
The items recovered include ten exotic cars, phones, laptops, motorcycles, wristwatches and many incriminating documents.
