“It leaves a sour taste in the mouth, but we cannot stop credible intelligence efforts to rid our society of scams and scammers.
“It must be noted that legitimate business owners must be encouraged at all times. I therefore sympathize with entrepreneurs who have suffered one loss or another, and I urge them to keep faith, as every lost revenue will be retrieved without delay.
“It is our hope that the Government of Ondo State will never leave anyone doing legitimate business stranded or oppressed by any institution of the government.
“As a government, we will never tolerate nefarious activities inimical to the growth and development of our society. We are not ready to condone actions that will pose a security threat to the state or nation.
“I therefore appeal to those who have a case to answer to clear themselves with the operatives of the EFCC, while those who are innocent should not be made to endure further undue pain.”
Recall, few days ago, the operatives of Ibadan command of EFCC raided some clubhouses in Akure, Ondo state capital, over 120 suspected internet fraudsters were reportedly arrested during the operation.
