Two more suspects have been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in connection with an alleged fraud case linked to a digital trading platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange, popularly known as CBEX.
The anti-graft agency made the declaration on Wednesday in a notice published across its official social media platforms.
According to the notice, the two suspects are Folashade Odelana and Bamidele Ayodele Abiodun.
The two individuals were accused of orchestrating fraudulent activities that reportedly led to significant financial losses for unsuspecting investors.
The anti-graft agency asked members of the public with useful information on the whereabouts of the suspects to come forward.
The notice read, “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).
