The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned 11 Chinese nationals and a company, Genting International Co. Ltd, before Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, over fraud-related offenses.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Friday, the anti-graft agency disclosed that the suspects were arraigned on separate charges, including cyber-terrorism, cybercrimes, possession of fraudulent documents, advance fee fraud, and identity theft.
According to the EFCC, the accused individuals are part of a 792-member syndicate allegedly involved in cryptocurrency investment scams and romance fraud. They were apprehended during a surprise operation named “Eagle Flush Operation” on December 10, 2024, in Lagos.
The defendants—Li Niu, Xiao Qinyun, Fu Zheng Yang, Xiao Yi, Bei Bei Linde Jun, Li Hang, Huan Livo, Wang Wei Tong Mo Ying, Gao Yang, Zebin Chen, and Yuan Zhibin—are currently facing legal proceedings.
The EFCC remains committed to dismantling fraudulent networks operating within Nigeria and ensuring justice for victims of cyber-related crimes.
