Military personnel from the Nigerian Army Barracks 3 Battalion in Effurun, Delta State, have arrested over 100 youths suspected of carrying out internet fraud during a raid on a facility known as HK “Hustle Kingdom.” The location is believed to be a training center for cybercriminals.

The Army Housing Complex, where the raid took place, is a residential area primarily for retired military officers and civilians. The operation was carried out after intelligence reports revealed the presence of an HK school (Yahoo training) within the complex.
