According to the EFCC, the promoter of the Academy is on the run, and investigations showed that the sponsor recruits and trains young individuals who show interest in internet fraud.

“The sponsor gets his percentage of their earnings based on an agreement between him and the recruits. He also serves as a conduit for laundering the money gotten from internet fraud by some of the suspects,” the antigraft agency said in a statement.

The EFCC however said the suspects will be prosecuted when investigation is completed.
