The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raised an alarm over the operations of 58 companies disguising as investment platforms while defrauding unsuspecting Nigerians of their hard-earned money.
In a statement, the anti-graft agency reaffirmed its commitment to sanitizing Nigeria’s financial space and providing the public with credible information about illegal Ponzi schemes operating across the country.
According to the EFCC, these companies are neither registered with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nor the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Both regulators, in separate correspondences, confirmed that the entities are not licensed under their supervision.
The commission further disclosed that several of the implicated firms have been taken to court, with five companies already convicted. An additional five have pleaded guilty and are awaiting a review of facts, while the rest are still pending arraignment.
