The FBI made these arrests just few days after arresting and charging 77 Nigerians for online fraud.
There seems to be a clear war by the United States agents against online, card fraud which some Nigerians find pleasurable.
One would liken this war to war against the Mafia of which the Italians dominated in the history of the country.
While Nigerians at home see tribal colours due to inter-ethnic hatred in the arrest, the United States agents see only the nationality or the origin of the suspected culprits.
The full list of those arrested and their age are as follows.
1) Oladayo Araromi,
2) Bolaji Ola, 30,
3) Olamide Otti, 27,
