EFCC Raids Hotel in Obasanjo Library Complex, Arrests Suspected Fraudsters

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raided the Green Legacy Hotel within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, arresting several youths suspected of internet fraud during a pool party on Sunday, August 10, 2025. The EFCC operatives from the Lagos Directorate reportedly seized over 20 luxury cars and other valuable items.

A viral video of the raid showed youths scrambling for safety as gunshots filled the air. An eyewitness, A.Ayomide, claimed to have left the library around 1:30 am and received calls about the EFCC raid 20 minutes later.

The Managing Director of OOPL Ventures, Vitalis Ortese, confirmed the incident, stating, “Yes, they did. There was an incident this morning. We will find out and we will let you know.” EFCC spokespersons Ayo Oyewole and Dele Oyewale promised to confirm and provide updates on the operation.

This raid comes barely five days after the EFCC’s Ibadan Zonal Directorate arrested 55 suspected internet fraudsters, including one with two locally-made pistols, during a raid at K-Hotel in Itori, Ewekoro area of Ogun State.
