The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged Nigerians who lost money to the fraudulent cryptocurrency platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), to report at its zonal offices in Ibadan and Lagos as part of ongoing investigations.
In a statement issued on Friday, the commission’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said three suspects — Adefowora Olanipekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo, and Ehirim Chukwuebuka — are already facing trial over their alleged roles in the scheme.
CBEX reportedly enticed investors with promises of unrealistic returns, leading to widespread financial losses.
“The EFCC is inviting victims who invested their funds through individuals linked to the CBEX offices in Ibadan and Idimu, Lagos, to report to its Ibadan Zonal Directorate and Lagos Zonal Directorate 2,” Oyewale said.
The anti-graft agency said the victims’ cooperation would support its investigation and prosecution efforts.
