The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday summoned victims of the popular Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) scam to its office.
The anti-graft agency in a notice released on its social media pages urged victims of the crypto investment scam to visit its zonal directorate in Lagos and Ibadan.
In the notice signed by EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, the commission said it is currently prosecuting three suspects in connection with the crime against several Nigerian investors.
Oyewale said the suspects Adefowoara Abidodun Olanikpekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo and Ehirom Justice Chukwuebuka are alleged to be involved in the fraudulent online cryptocurrency trading platform.
He said, “The scheme led to serious financial losses to Nigerians who invested their funds with a promise of unrealistic returns on investment.
“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,” Oyewale stated.
He also listed the addresses where the victims are expected to visit as 16A, Reverend Oyebode Crescent, lyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State and 7A, Okotie-Eboh Street, Ikoyi, Lagos.
