A structure used for internet fraud training has been discovered by the Lagos State Police Command in the Iju neighbourhood of Lagos State.  

Known as the "Yahoo School," the command reported that six pupils receiving instruction in fraud and cybercrime were also arrested during the raid, along with four Yahoo experts who had been operating the school.  

The tenth suspect, a trainee, is twelve years old, while the other nine were between the ages of twenty and twenty-six.  As a result, the command has instructed the facility's owner to surrender himself for examination.

According to CSP Benjamin Hudenyin, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, preliminary investigations showed that the facility's main suspects enlisted trainees from Anambra State and used them to perpetrate online fraud and other associated offences.  

"The principal suspects confiscated the proceeds from their fraudulent activities," he claimed.

Hudenyin said: “All suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID Yaba, for further discreet investigation and prosecution.

“Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the sponsors who financed the trainees’ enrollment in the school as well as the owner of the facility where these criminal and illegal activities took place. The owner of the facility is hereby warned in his own interest to turn himself in immediately, at the SCID Panti from wherever he is hiding.The Lagos State Police Command will ensure that all suspects are charged to court for prosecution upon the conclusion of the investigation into the case”
