The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in
Benin, Edo state, says it has arrested one Kenneth Gift, a student of the
University of Port Harcourt, for allegedly engaging in internet fraud.
In a statement on Thursday, Dele Oyewale, the commission’s
spokesperson, said the 22-year-old computer science undergraduate was arrested
alongside Dandy Spice, his girlfriend, and Dorah Aninah, his mother, in Agbor,
Delta state.
Oyewale said they were arrested following a petition
received from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
