Olukoyede said, “We will not spare anyone. We will not spare the mega thieves.

“As we are doing the mega, we will also do those at the lower end.

“In the last two months, we have arranged two former governors.

“So, it is not true that we are only focused on internet fraudsters.

“Of course, internet fraud is bad enough but our focus is on every form of economic and financial crimes.

Youths need to know that being ex-convicts has career limitations. Ex-convicts can’t run for public offices, and the stigma alone is even terrible. So, I urge you to avoid internet crimes by all means. Your future is more important than any immediate gains from such crimes.

He urged youths to adopt hard work and diligence, stressing that success is attained through these virtues. Emphasizing the dignity in labor, he called for collective action against corruption, urging everyone to join the fight alongside the EFCC.
