EFCC Bans Sting Operations At Night

The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has directed that sting operations at night be stopped across all the commands of the commission.

This is in line with the newly reviewed procedures on arrest and bail of suspects.

He gave the directive in Abuja on Wednesday in reaction to the arrest of 69 suspected internet fraudsters by operatives of the Ibadan Zonal of the Commission in Ile-Ife, Osun State. Already, many of the suspects duly profiled by the command have been released, while profiling suspects yet unreleased will be completed without further delay.

The commission said it wished to assure the public that it would not relent in its adherence to the rule of law in the exercise of its mandate
