EFCC arrests three suspects tied to Q-net scam

Abuja, Nigeria – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained three individuals accused of running a fraudulent scheme while posing as Q-net representatives.

Specifically, the suspects—Olaniyan Joshua, Oyetunde Julius Akano, and Victor Oluwale—were arrested on May 1, 2025, in Abuja and are now being questioned.

According to reports, the suspects operated under “Mighty Infinity Millionaire Limited,” falsely claiming ties to Q-net. However, Q-net has since denied any association with them. Meanwhile, EFCC investigations uncovered that they also operated a fake university, issuing counterfeit degrees in Medicine, Nursing, and Cybersecurity.

Additionally, the suspects allegedly conducted classes in temporary structures, including pavilions and under trees. Consequently, victims paid between N1.2 million and N1.3 million in registration fees. As a result, the EFCC estimates that the suspects made hundreds of millions of naira illegally.

Notably, this arrest follows an earlier EFCC raid on March 24, 2025, at a so-called “Q-net University” in Abuja. During that operation, authorities took 133 suspects into custody.

Furthermore, the EFCC has reaffirmed its dedication to fighting financial crimes and safeguarding the public. Currently, investigations continue, and the Commission advises citizens to stay alert to similar scams.

Finally, more details will be released as the case progresses. The EFCC remains vigilant in its efforts to curb fraudulent activities nationwide.
