The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has promised Nigerians who lost money in the failed CBEX trading platform that they will recover their funds. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, made this known during an interview on Channels Television, assuring that the agency is working hard to trace the money and catch those behind the scam.
Before CBEX crashed, the The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had already warned Nigerians to be careful of Ponzi schemes like it. Sadly, many didn’t listen and invested in the platform, which claimed to double their money. Now that CBEX has collapsed, the EFCC says it is teaming up with international security agencies to find the people responsible and return the stolen money. Oyewale noted that many victims have been calling and visiting the EFCC office daily.
The agency said the process may take some time but promised not to rest until justice is done. Nigerians are also being reminded to avoid platforms that promise quick and unbelievable profits. The EFCC had earlier warned the public about 58 fake investment platforms, and CBEX was one of them.
