Cyber crimes: Two music producers, four others arrested in Uyo

Two music producers, John Obot and Odok Valentine, and four other suspects have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged involvement in cyber crimes in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

Obot and Valentine were apprehended alongside Emdiong Iwoenang, Christian Alvan Okechukwu, Innocent Japhet and Edem Uwana at their apartment located on 3, Ring Road, off Shelter Afrique, Uyo.

The Commission said it recovered five laptops, 11 mobile phones, one grey-coloured Mazda 3, a black-coloured Lexus ES 350 and a silver- coloured Toyota Camry car from the suspects.

It also said forensic analyses of the five laptops and 11 phones revealed evidences of their various levels of involvement in cyber crimes, and they all owned up and made confessional statements.

The anti-graft agency therefore said all six suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
