CBEX: EFCC declares eight wanted
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared eight individuals wanted over the alleged fraud perpetrated on Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), a trading platform.
The eight suspects are Adefowora Olanipekun, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Emmanuel Uko, Seyi Oloyede, Johnson Okiroh Otieno, Israel Mbaluka, Joseph Michiro Kabera and Serah Michiro.
The anti-graft agency published the wanted notice across its social media platforms on Friday.
“The public is hereby notified that the persons whose photographs appear above are wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for fraud allegedly perpetrated on an online trading platform called Crypto Bridge Exhange (CBEX),” the agency said.
Recently, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted permission to the EFCC to arrest and detain six CBEX promoters over a $1 billion investment fraud allegation.
The presiding judge, Emeka Nwite, gave the order following an ex parte application moved by Fadila Yusuf, counsel to the EFCC.
The commission has urged members of the public with any useful information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects to reach out to the EFCC through its offices in Ibadan, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja.
