The agency explained that the convicts were part of a larger group arrested earlier this year.
“The convicts are among the 192 foreign nationals arrested during a sting operation by the Commission in Lagos, following actionable intelligence about the operations of one of the largest foreign-led cybercrime syndicates in Nigeria,” the statement read.
It added that the exercise is far from over. “Further deportations are scheduled in the coming days,” the EFCC confirmed.
