The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and INTERPOL have commenced a probe of the recently crashed online digital trading platform, CBEX, as it reportedly swept its investors funds amounting to N1.3 trillion.
The CBEX, operated by a group of foreign nationals in collaboration with their Nigerian partners with offices in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, and other parts of the country, collapsed, leaving their investors stranded as they were unable to access their funds.
Reacting to the development, Oyewale confirmed that the commission had already commenced an investigation into the scheme before its eventual collapse.
He explained that efforts were underway to arrest both the local and international operators behind the fraudulent scheme.
