The arrest of 89 persons accused of being suspected internet fraudsters by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the weekend, at a night club, in Ibadan, Oyo State, has caused outrage on Twitter.

Some Nigerians who took to the Platform of Twitter lambasted the anti-graft agency for arresting innocent citizens, without evidence of crimes.
Others argued that the commission infringed on citizens right of privacy, by arresting them in a night club, which to them is not a place of criminal activities.

The commission, on Monday morning, on its Twitter handle, posted photographs of the suspected internet fraudsters with the caption: “EFCC Arrests 89 ‘Yahoo-Boys’ in Ibadan Night ClubThe EFCC Ibadan zonal office, at the weekend, arrested 89 suspected internet fraudsters at the popular Club 360 located on the Akala Expressway, Oluyole Extension in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.”

Less than 6 months ago, the FBI arrested 80 Diaspora Yahoo Yahoo Boys. They already had evidence to nail every single one of them before making any arrest. EFCC can do better. You just can't go around raiding club houses and arresting every single person in sight. It is wrong!

So EFCC storms clubs now and claim everyone in the club is a "yahoo" person?
Or they intend to say they were having a meeting or retreat in the club??What a system full of mediocrity? Raid National Assembly instead or Aso rock itself? https://t.co/SSItbqrI5a
