The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has uncovered a money laundering trail totaling over $300,000 linked to a suspected internet fraudster arrested in Edo State.

The suspect, apprehended on Sunday, May 4, 2025, in the Sabo Iyako area of Auchi, was one of 35 individuals arrested following credible intelligence tying them to fraudulent online activities. Identified as a “picker” or “azaman” in cybercrime circles, the suspect is believed to have facilitated the collection and laundering of large sums for syndicate members who remain at large.

EFCC investigations further reveal the suspect’s involvement in broader fraudulent schemes, including investment and banking scams.

The Commission stated that the suspect will be formally charged once investigations are concluded.
