Military personnel from the 3 Battalion Nigerian Army Barracks in Effurun, Delta State, have arrested more than 100 youths suspected of internet fraud during a raid on a facility known as HK “Hustle Kingdom.” This location is believed to be a training center for cybercriminals.
The Army Estate, where the raid took place, is a residential area primarily for retired military officers and civilians. The operation followed intelligence reports revealing the existence of the HK (Yahoo training) school within the estate.
