Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have raided the Green Legacy Hotel located within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) complex in Abeokuta, Ogun State, arresting several youths suspected of internet fraud.
The operation took place in the early hours of Sunday during a pool party at the facility.
The raid comes less than a week after EFCC’s Ibadan Zonal Directorate arrested a suspected fraudster with two locally made pistols during a sweep of K-Hotel in Itori, Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.

Sources claim more than 20 luxury cars and other valuable items were seized during the operation, which was reportedly carried out by EFCC operatives from the Lagos Directorate.
One social media user, A. Ayomide, recounted the events on X: “Literally left my house past midnight to go to OOPL, got there and the crowd was too much. I don’t like the settings, my guy doesn’t like the settings, so we were just at the car park.
“Left around 1:30, 20 minutes later I get home and I’m getting calls that EFCC is raiding OOPL.
“Vitalis Ortese, Managing Director of OOPL Ventures, confirmed that a raid took place but did not disclose further details.
“Yes, they did. There was an incident this morning. We will find out and we will let you know,” he said.
Ayo Oyewole, spokesperson for EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Command, when contacted by the press said he was not yet informed about the operation but would investigate.
EFCC’s national spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, also promised to confirm and provide an update.
