The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has in collaboration with other agencies deported another batch of 51 foreign nationals convicted of cyber-terrorism, internet fraud, and related financial crimes in Lagos.

EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

Oyewale said the exercise was jointly carried out by the anti-graft agency with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

According to him, the final batch of 51 convicts, including 50 Chinese nationals and one Tunisian, brings to 192 the number of  foreigners convicted of financial crimes in Lagos state to a close.

He said that the last batch of deportees left Nigeria on Oct. 16.

”The deportation exercise followed the arrest and successful prosecution of 759 suspects during a major sting operation conducted by the EFCC on Dec. 10, 2024, at Oyin Jolayemi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

”The deportation exercise, which began on Aug. 15, followed the conviction of the offenders by the Federal High Court in Lagos for offences bordering on cybercrime, money laundering, and ponzi scheme operations.

”The first batch of 42 convicts, comprising Chinese and Filipino nationals, was deported on Aug. 15; subsequent batches followed throughout August and September,” he said.

According to him, the deported convicts include nationals of China, the Philippines, Tunisia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Timor-Leste.

They were deported in coordinated batches between August and mid-October 2025, in accordance with court directives and immigration procedures.

”All the deported convicts bagged their imprisonment when they were arrested with their Nigerian accomplices  believed to be members of a sophisticated cybercrime and ponzi scheme syndicate.

”The syndicate was said to be operating under the cover of Genting International Co. Limited.

”The operation, based on credible, actionable intelligence, and subsequent investigations,  confirmed that the convicted foreigners were involved in large-scale online fraud, identity theft, and cyber-enabled Ponzi schemes.”

According to him, evidence revealed that they trained recruits and managed fraudulent digital platforms aimed at defrauding victims both locally and internationally.

”The Nigeria Immigration Service deported them as directed by the court,” he said.(NAN

  81. Thanks for the thoughts you have provided here. On top of that, I believe there are a few factors which keep your car insurance policy premium decrease. One is, to bear in mind buying automobiles that are in the good set of car insurance businesses. Cars which have been expensive are usually more at risk of being stolen. Aside from that insurance coverage is also depending on the value of your car or truck, so the costlier it is, then higher a premium you have to pay.

  85. One thing I’d prefer to say is before getting more laptop memory, look at the machine into which it is installed. In case the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory threshold is 3.25GB. Using greater than this would merely constitute just a waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle the upgrade amount, as well. Great blog post.

  86. I mastered more a new challenge on this fat reduction issue. One issue is that good nutrition is tremendously vital while dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and white-colored flour products may perhaps be necessary. Keeping wastes bloodsuckers, and contaminants may prevent goals for fat loss. While selected drugs quickly solve the challenge, the awful side effects aren’t worth it, and they never provide more than a short-lived solution. It’s a known incontrovertible fact that 95 of dietary fads fail. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog site.
