Spokesperson of the police force, Don Awunah while parading the suspects, said they were arrested by operatives attached to the Inspector-General of Police intelligence Response Team, following complaints from prominent Nigerians.
The suspects according to Awunah specialised in sending text messages and calling highly placed individuals like ministers, senators among others, demanding huge sums of money. Items recovered from them include cell phones containing the SIM cards, copies of letters of threat addressed to highly placed Nigerians, letters of fraud and list of names and phone numbers and contact of important personalities in Nigeria. The suspects would be arraigned in court on completion of investigation.
