The Nigerian Anti-Corruption Bureau has arrested 105 people, including four Chinese nationals, on suspicion of involvement in an internet fraud scheme targeting hotels in Europe and other countries, a spokesman said on Friday.
The suspects were arrested on Thursday during a raid on an apartment in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, according to a statement by Dele Oyeweile, a spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He said they are suspected of hotel job review fraud.
Oyevale said the investigation is ongoing and that all suspects will be charged to court for trial once it is complete.
Last month, nearly 800 people, including 148 Chinese and 40 Filipinos, were arrested in a raid on a building suspected of being a hub for scammers who lured victims with offers of romantic relationships and then forced them to hand over cash in exchange for fake cryptocurrency investments.
