Also included are 194 routers, 205 sofas, 501 double-step bunks, 754 mattresses, 40 refrigerators, 10 microwaves, and two whiteboards.
A Federal High Court has granted the EFCC’s request to seize assets worth millions tied to alleged cybercrime and money laundering involving Chinese suspects.
Justice Deinde Dipeolu of the Lagos Federal High Court on April 23 approved the interim forfeiture of 73 properties and 1,596 electronic devices, including 4,091 mobile phones and 3,399 SIM cards. The EFCC’s application targeted Genting International Co., citing violations of the Advance Fee Fraud Act. “I find sufficient merit in the application,” Justice Dipeolu ruled, authorizing seizure of the assets which included computers, routers, and luxury items like seven vehicles and 411 deep freezers.
The massive haul also included 754 mattresses, 40 refrigerators, and office equipment, suggesting a large-scale operation. The EFCC’s swift action follows growing concerns about international cybercrime networks operating in Nigeria, with this case highlighting sophisticated infrastructure allegedly used for illicit activities.
