The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared two more persons wanted in connection with the collapsed digital trading platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange, CBEX.
NATIONAL POST reports that the anti-graft agency has been closing in on those involved in the scheme that defrauded Nigerians of their hard earned money.
Before now, some suspects involved in the scheme were arrested by the commission.
The EFCC had also earlier declared eight persons wanted in relation to the same case.
They include Adefowora Abiodun Olanipekun, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Emmanuel Uko, Seyi Oloyede, Johnson Okiroh Otieno, Israel Mbaluka, Joseph Michiro Kabera, and Serah Michiro. Arrest warrants have since been secured for six suspects: Olanipekun, Oluwanisola, Uko, Oloyede, Avwerosuo Otorudo, and Chukwuebuka Ehirim.
In an update on Wednesday, the EFCC said two more suspects, identified as Folashade Odelana and Bamidele Ayodele Abiodun, who are 31 and 32 years old respectively, have been declared wanted.
They were accused of orchestrating fraudulent activities on the platform, which reportedly led to substantial financial losses for unsuspecting investors.
The anti-graft agency said the last known address of the duo is No. 17, Oremeta Street, Allen, Ikeja, Lagos State.
“The public is hereby notified that the persons whose photographs appear below are wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for fraud allegedly perpetrated on an online trading platform called Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX),” the statement read.
It urged members of the public with credible information regarding the suspects’ whereabouts to contact its offices across Ibadan, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja.
