The returnees are being profiled, counselled and supported through reintegration, according to NAPTIP. Authorities arrested nine suspects in Delta State and 19 others near Accra. Investigators seized phones, laptops, routers, vehicles and other equipment, while technology companies removed more than 3.7 million suspected fraudulent accounts.
