Operatives of the Economic andFinancial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) have arrested Oladimeji Ogunfolaju, owner of Lakers Hotel and Lake
County Entertainment in Lagos, for alleged involvement in internet fraud.
The hotel, alleged to be a haven for Internet fraudsters, is
being guarded by armed security men from three security agencies, including the
Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Navy.
Ogunfolaju, 30, was reportedly arrested alongside 79 other
persons.
The commission said the suspects were arrested during a
sting operation on the hotel located at 29, Ebute-Igbogbo Road, Ikorodu, Lagos
on Saturday, March 7, 2020, following an intensive surveillance and
intelligence gathering by the commission about their alleged criminal
activities.
In his statement, Ogunfolaju reportedly said he built the
hotel, which houses a night club and a strip bar, from the proceeds of internet
fraud.
“About 60 of the suspects have volunteered useful
information, leading to further investigation. Some of the items recovered from
the suspects at the point of arrest include exotic cars, jewelry, mobile phones
and some documents. They will soon be arraigned in court.
