One of the suspected promoters of the controversial cryptocurrency trading platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), Adefowora Abiodun has voluntarily surrendered to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for probe.
Abiodun, who was previously declared wanted by the EFCC for his alleged involvement in a fraudulent investment scheme linked to over $1 billion surrendered himself at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja. He was accompanied by his legal team, family members, and friends.
Abiodun’s decision to turn himself in follows the EFCC’s earlier announcement that four individuals, including him, were wanted in connection with the scam involving CBEX.
The investigation is part of a broader effort to address the massive fraud linked to the platform, which has left numerous investors at a significant financial loss.
The EFCC had previously declared Seyi Oloyede, Emmanuel Uko, Adefowora Oluwanisola, and Adefowora Abiodun Olaonipekun as wanted suspects.
Also a Federal High Court had granted the EFCC permission to arrest and detain six individuals suspected of promoting the fraudulent CBEX platform.
