The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared four individuals wanted in connection with a massive fraudulent scheme tied to an online trading platform known as Crypto Bridge Exchange, popularly referred to as CBEX
In a public notice released on Friday, the anti-graft agency named the suspects as Seyi Oloyede, Emmanuel Uko, Adefowora Oluwanisola, and Adefowora Abiodun Olaonipekun.
The notice, signed by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, reaffirmed the commission’s resolve to combat financial crimes, particularly in the rapidly growing and increasingly exploited cryptocurrency space.
The four suspects are accused of defrauding unsuspecting investors through CBEX. According to the EFCC, Oloyede and Uko were last traced to No. 166, Idimu Egbeda Road, Lagos, while Oluwanisola and Olaonipekun were last known to reside at 13 Jimoh Odutola, Ogungpa, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The commission is urging members of the public with useful information about their whereabouts to contact the EFCC through any of its zonal offices in Ibadan, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja.
Meanwhile, PUNCH Online reported on Thursday that the Federal High Court in Abuja granted the EFCC permission to arrest and detain six individuals allegedly involved in the CBEX fraud, which is said to be worth over $1 billion.
Justice Emeka Nwite granted the order following an ex parte application filed by the EFCC and presented by its counsel, Fadila Yusuf.
Those named in the court motion include Adefowora Olanipekun, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Emmanuel Uko, Seyi Oloyede, Avwerosuo Otorudo, and Chukwuebuka Ehirim.
