The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said on Wednesday that it is gaining important ground in its search for eight wanted persons implicated in Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) fraud.
According to the commission on its ‘X’ handle, the search was a part of its ongoing investigations of the alleged monumental fraud involving many actors in the infamous CBEX collapse, with billions of investors trapped.
According to EFCC, the eight wanted persons are: Seyi Oloyede, Emmanuel Uko, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Adefowora Abiodun Olanipekun, Johnson Okiroh Ofienolu,
Others are Israel Mbalika, Joseph Michiro Kabera and Serah Michiro.
Ellie Bitar of CBEX Solutions Ltd., who was earlier declared wanted, has since been removed from the list owing to new information that does not support his inclusion in the wanted persons’ list.
“The Commission is making good progress in its investigations. Law enforcement agencies across the world are collaborating with it in tracking and arresting all the wanted persons.
“The EFCC will not relent in bringing every actor involved in the fraudulent dealings to book,” the Commission posted.
