The agency in a statement on its social media platform revealed that these fraudsters are resorting to spiritual and occult methods in their desperate attempt to boost their criminal success.
The anti-corruptipn agency noted that many online fraudsters are now combining cybercrime with diabolic rituals.
According to the statement, “G boys are now going spiritual, involving themselves in rituals and making it the new usual. EFCC will come for any individual. Then, it won’t be business as usual.”
From investigations, the new version of online crime, called “Yahoo Plus,” blends digital fraud with black magic and fetish practices.
Some of these rituals performed by Traditional priests who recommend which body parts enhance certain forms of cybercrime involve disturbing acts such as using human body parts, used sanitary materials, and even performing sexual rites with spirits.
