The arrest comes barely a day after the EFCC announced the arrest of a Cyber Crime syndicate which specialises in business email compromise in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
They were said to have confessed to searching for victims’ email addresses, creating a phishing link and compromising the process in order to defraud them.
