The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
invited Nigerians who fell victim to the fraudulent cryptocurrency platform,
Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), to report at its zonal offices in Ibadan and
Lagos to support ongoing investigations.
The invitation was announced in a statement issued on Friday
by the commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, in Ibadan, Oyo
State.
Oyewale stated, “The EFCC is currently prosecuting three
suspects namely Adefowora Olanipekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo, and Ehirim Chukwuebuka
over their alleged involvement in the scam.”
According to the anti-graft agency, CBEX lured unsuspecting
investors with promises of unrealistic returns, causing significant financial
losses to many individuals.
The commission urged victims to come forward, saying, “In
view of the foregoing and the need to assist the commission in its ongoing
investigation, 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.”
