Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is currently trending following its aggressive crackdown on the alleged $20 million CBEX cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. The anti-graft agency has declared four key suspects wanted while securing court-ordered arrest warrants for six others in what appears to be one of 2024's biggest financial fraud cases.

The EFCC's latest move comes after months of investigating CBEX's operations, which promised investors unrealistic returns before suddenly collapsing. Simultaneously, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched public sensitization campaigns in Abuja's Wuse Market, warning Nigerians against fraudulent investment schemes.
