A member of the feeder team of the popular Ibadan-based Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) Oginni Oluwaseyi Dayo, was on Tuesday, May 14 arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibadan zonal office, over alleged involvement in internet related offences.
Oginni was arrested alongside his brother-in-law, Alabi Okikiola; and his friend, Jonas Okwuwe; at a location within the Fortune Estate, Ologuneru Olonde area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Their arrest followed a petition from a neighbour, who raised high suspicion on the reckless and flamboyant life the suspect live, without any known reasonable source of income.
Upon the receipt of the petition and further discreet investigation, operatives of the commission carried out an early morning operation that led to their arrest.
