He explained the method in detail, saying, \u201cThe modality of these fraudsters, involves a string of carefully devised airline discount information that any unsuspecting foreign traveler will fall for.\u00a0 What they do is to advertise a discount system in the purchase of flight tickets of a particular foreign carrier.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The payment module is designed in such a way that their victims would be convinced that the payment is actually made into the account of the airline.\u00a0 No sooner the payment is made than the passenger&#8217;s entire funds in his bank account are emptied\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Uwujaren disclosed that over 700 victims lost a total of N651,097,755 to the airline discount scam. While the EFCC managed to recover and return N33,628,000 to some victims, he warned that the fraud remains active, noting that foreign actors behind it are converting stolen funds into cryptocurrency and moving them through Bybit to safer destinations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second and far more extensive scheme involved Fred and Farid Investment Limited, also known as FF Investment, which lured Nigerians with false investment promises. Uwujaren said more than 200,000 victims were affected, with N18,088,901,272.35 funneled through nine companies offering various fake investment packages.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In all, he revealed that more than 900 Nigerians were fleeced through the direct connivance of banks. He added that foreign nationals masterminded the operations, working with three Nigerian accomplices who have now been arrested and charged to court.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further details of the financial institutions\u2019 involvement were provided by Abdulkarim Chukkol, Director of Investigations, and Michael Wetcas, Acting Director of the EFCC\u2019s Abuja Zonal Directorate. They said investigations showed deliberate breaches of banking procedures that allowed criminal proceeds to be laundered and moved offshore.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to them, \u201ca new generation bank and six Fintechs and Micro Finance Banks are involved in this.\u00a0 The financial institutions clearly compromised banking procedures and allowed the fraudsters to safely change their proceeds into digital assets\u00a0 and move into safe destinations.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">They disclosed that \u201cA total sum of N18, 739,\u00a0 999,\u00a0 027.\u00a0 35k\u00a0 had been moved through our financial system without due diligence of customers by the banks.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even more troubling, EFCC investigations found that cryptocurrency transactions worth N162 billion passed through a single new-generation bank without proper checks. In one extreme case, a single customer reportedly operated 960 accounts in the bank, all allegedly used for fraudulent activities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The EFCC called on financial regulators to enforce strict compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) requirements. It warned that any deposit money bank, fintech or microfinance bank found aiding fraudsters should be suspended and referred for prosecution.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission stressed that negligence and failure to monitor suspicious or structured transactions \u201cwould no longer be allowed,\u201d assuring Nigerians that it would intensify efforts against money laundering and financial crimes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Uwujaren also urged financial institutions to strengthen their internal controls, warning that continued lapses would further expose the economy to \u201cleakages and compromises bleeding the economy.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The EFCC reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the integrity of Nigeria\u2019s financial system and holding complicit institutions accountable as investigations continue.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Adaji The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a probe into the role of banks and fintech companies in two large-scale fraudulent schemes that drained N18.739&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":125167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
