The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged Nigerians who lost money to the fraudulent cryptocurrency platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), to visit its zonal offices in Ibadan and Lagos to support its ongoing investigations.
This call was made in a statement released on Friday by the Commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Oyewale, the EFCC is currently prosecuting three individuals: Adefowora Olanipekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo, and Ehirim Chukwuebuka over their alleged involvement in the scam.
The anti-graft agency revealed that CBEX attracted unsuspecting investors with promises of unrealistic returns, resulting in substantial financial losses for many.
“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,” the statement added.
