The suspects are Eliot Chuku; Oghenero Tega; Pamkim James; Jeremiah Agbani; Frank Freeman; George Naomi; Joshua Patrick; Francis Paul; Bernard Peter; Akarolo Chimeganum, and Precious Ebi.

According to the statement,  EFCC operates from four locations in Bayelsa – Queens Estate, Mike Okporkpor, Kpansia, Yenagoa – and Unity Estate in Rivers.
