The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has assured Nigerians who invested in the now-defunct CBEX digital trading platform that they will recover their funds, although the process may not yield immediate results.
Mr. Dele Oyewale, the spokesman of the anti-graft agency, made the disclosure during an appearance on Channels TV’s Morning Brief on Wednesday, April 16.
He noted that the commission had already begun investigating the platform prior to the public outcry and had issued earlier warnings about potential Ponzi schemes.
“We didn’t wait for Nigerians to raise the alarm before we began our investigation. We had already profiled CBEX and flagged it as suspicious,” Oyewale said.
He stressed that the EFCC’s intelligence network had been tracking CBEX, and that the agency had included the platform among 58 Ponzi schemes it flagged in March.
