150 "Yahoo, Yahoo" Students Arrested In Delta State

In a recent crackdown on internet fraud, 150 students were arrested at a "Yahoo School" in Delta's Army Estate, Effurun. The suspects, accused of being involved in cybercrime, were apprehended by operatives of the 3 Battalion of the Nigerian Army and handed over to the police. 

The arrests were made at Hustle Kingdom school, a cyber-criminal training network, following intelligence reports. The Army Estate, a high-end residential area for retired military officers and civilians, was allegedly used as a cover for their illicit activities.

Bright Edafe, police spokesperson in the state, confirmed the arrests and stated that the suspects will be paraded.

In a related development, the Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the EFCC from prosecuting Leno Adesanya, promoter of Sunrise Power and Transmission Co. Ltd., over allegations of $6 billion Mambilla hydroelectric power project fraud. The court ordered the EFCC to remove Mr. Adesanya's name and photograph from its wanted list pending the determination of the contractual dispute between the company and the federal ministry of power and steel.
